Lyrics

Dry winds are blowing from the west
Putting survival to the test
No water flows along the riverbed
Wind blows the sand up to the edge

Oooo
Waiting for the river to run

Cold winds blow hard down from the north
Freezing the land right to the core
No snow is falling on the mountainside
A once-mighty river now runs dry

Oooo
Waiting for the river to run

We build the dams for our control
Disrupting nature's perfect flow
So it goes
As the river dries
Tears we cry
Oh, oh
