lyrics: WATER IS LIFE
Featuring the voices of a diverse group of elementary students
from schools in the New York City Watershed
Every living thing needs water -- animals, plants, and people. Water is life.
Water. Water is life.
Agua. Agua es vida. (Spanish)
Water is something that we all need.
Water.
Shuǐ. Shuǐ shì shēng mìng. Wǒ mén shì shuǐ. (Mandarin)
71% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water.
But only a tiny portion of that is fresh.
Water.
Pani!
Water is life
Pani hosi jeevon. (Bengali)
We are water.
Water is life.
Did you know that a human baby is 75% water? And that bananas are 74% water, and that watermelons are 92.6% water? And water is 100% water. Now that’s water.
Water is splashy!
Maya. Al hayat maya. (Arabic)
Agua es vida. (Spanish)
Water is life.
I love to drink water out of loop-de-loopdy straws.
Everything in our garden needs water. Like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. And flowers and raspberries and corn.
Ob! Ob hayot. (Uzbek)
Water is delicious.
Delicioso!
I like jumping in the pool.
I like to splash my sister with water.
Voda. Voda nasha jizn. (Russian)
Water is life. We are water.
Viz. A viz elet. (Hungarian)
Water is important because it helps plants grow and if we didn’t have plants we wouldn’t have food.
A watershed is a place where all the rain and melted snow collects and flows downstream to the ocean.
No matter where you are in the world, everybody lives in a watershed.
If you think about it, everything on Earth is connected through water.
Swimming...dancing in the rain, and taking baths. Some people like baths. And snowball fights. Snowball fights? . . .
