Flowing water of ocean bound
From mountain peaks and underground
Numerous lives he have saved
Myriad of paths he had paved

Another day on the riverside
Bathing in clear water, in boats they ride
Someone washing their sullied clothes
Another throwing trash from their abode

It’s just a little, I’ll take it all
Said the river as his water soared
As man continued to prosper and live
The greater we take the more he gives

Day to day as time passed on
The same scene happened, nothing changed
The river still gushed with selfless abandon
Man still continued with their reckless destruction

It’s just a little, so I’ll take it all
This is my life’s meaning, my only goal
I’ll cleanse your sins and I’ll save your soul
For I loved you still and this is my role

Only after the lightning stroke, did we pray
For that clear water to live another day
Only after did we change for good
Filled with regrets and a sorrowful mood

In the end he died due the foolish of man
Still his love shone like the everlasting sun
Still he forgave the sins of the young and old
Still he continued to protect this world
