about
Waterdrops (Gouttes d’eau) compare l’eau à l’amour, un thème souvent problématique dans la vie humaine, et en même temps sujet de nos plus grands espoirs. Le texte suggère de placer l’amour dans un contexte plus vaste, d’apprendre à donner au lieu d’être en attente et de vouloir que l’on nous donne. Le texte nous rend également attentif à d’autres sources d’amour que l’unique amour humain. Les plantes, les animaux, le soleil, la pluie et tout ce qui est positif dans la vie ne sont-elles pas des sources d’amour qui montrent que quelque chose veille sur nous dans cet Univers ?
lyrics
Verse 1
We are always asking, asking so much more.
We are always hoping, Santa’s at our door.
We behave like children, captured in a game of give and take
in which we calculate the income of the day.
Chorus
Yes, we are like little drops in oceans full of water,
and all we care about is quenching our own thirst.
Just try to look around and see what is flowing so abundantly,
there is enough to share, so why do you not dare?
Verse 2
We’re always demanding, think it is our right.
Many expectations, all is on our side.
We never ask the question, what do others need that we can give,
we’re simply too afraid, the bill will not be paid.
Verse 3
Can’t we change our vision, vision of what’s good?
Good for us and others, living by the truth ?
Can’t we build a world of peace, trust and generosity
in which the best of every soul is given to the whole?
Chorus
Yes, we are like little drops in oceans full of water,
and all we care about is quenching our own thirst.
Just try to look around and see what is flowing so abundantly,
there is enough to share, so why do you not care?
