"Sweet Water" lyrics

"Sweet Water"

Pull me in the rain
I need a wake-up shower
Ordinary day
With many final hours
Why do I complain?
Why's too much still not enough?
Oh rain on me

For some it flows
For some it drips
But most of us get none of it
To those in need of only a little sip
I'd cry a river just for you
So you can feed your children too
If all of us would give a little bit

Why don't we share our sweet sweet water?
What if the thirsty one was your own son or daughter?
Why don't we care a little longer?
We only worry for a day then stop to bother

Pull me in the rain
Until you see me shiver
Ships are build the same
But the waters differ
I cannot complain
I get everything I need effortlessly

For some it flows
For some it drips
But most of us get none of it
To those in need of only a little sip
I'd cry a river just for you
So you can feed your children too
If all of us would give a little bit

Why don't we share our sweet sweet water?
What if the thirsty one was your own son or daughter?
Why don't we care a little longer?
We only worry for a day then stop to bother

Sweet sweet water
Why don't we share our sweet sweet water?
Share our sweet sweet water
Sweet sweet water

For some it flows
For some it drips
But most of us get none of it
If all of us would share a little bit

Davina Michelle posted the following in the description of this song published on YouTube on the 18th of May, 2021, "I had the honor of writing and performing 'Sweet Water' for the Eurovision Song Contest." She performed the song during the intermission of the first semifinal of the contest in Rotterdam on that day. Actress Thekla Reuten and a group of dancers backed her up on stage. The act, called "The Power Of Water", was dedicated to the Delta Works company that protects The Netherlands against flooding.
"Water connects, is resilient and is an inseparable part of the Netherlands," said Davina Michelle about the background of this track. "Together with Eurovision we have worked on a unique act in which these characteristics are central. I wrote the song 'Sweet Water', in which water is used as a metaphor for something that connects people in the world. We are all different and live in different environments, but we all need water and it brings us all together."
