LYRICS
Under the blue
Over the green
My God, what a lovely scene
Visions of you
Being here, too
In the scene serene
[Break / Jam]
Are you sure
No need for an anchor?
The flows give and take
Adrift on a lake
We can take
Any wake
Please take note
Rockin’ the boat
We’ll roll with the waves
Be the lifeguard that saves

LYRICS
I don’t know, Dear
Is that a doe?
And, woah
Is that a young buck?
What the ____?!?!
I look at him and him at I
Eye-to-eye
Me and he… he and me…
Eye-to-eye
Dear, a doe and a young buck
Getting to know, Dear
That is a doe
Now, know
That is a young buck
What the ____?!?!
Standing… her and he
Looking at me
Eye-to-eye
Run they don’t…
I don’t know why
Eye-to-eye
Dear, a doe and a young buck

LYRICS
In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You are fine art removed from vanity
A perfect picture of compassion
With love you don’t ration
You’re giving away a sum
To anyone that wants some
Crossed the finish line, yet never done
Shinning brighter than the sun
Why don’t we all just do it
Hold all of us to it
Why not change the world
Before we get too old
In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You put optimism in opportunity
A pure champion of compassion
With love you don’t ration
(Unconditional for all)

LYRICS
For real, the guitar speaks for how I feel
What’s the deal? The guitar speaks for how I feel
Not that absurd when it’s heard
A tone tells a thousand words

LYRICS
The fresh water level is dropping
The salt water level is rising
Shouldn’t be eye-popping
… no, ain’t surprising
Backlash of brackish backwaters
The water table is dropping
See the sea level rising
Shouldn’t be heart-stopping
… no, ain’t surprising
Backlash of brackish backwaters
Our wells are running drier
While the tides are rising higher
Would’ve thought it our desire
To put out this man-made fire
The song was inspired by a lot of misleading information trending in social-media about Nestle and the California drought. The facts of the matter are — most of the water in California is used for agriculture. Nearly 50 billion cubic metres (13 trillion gallons) of water is used in California each year. Nestle bottled water plants only use 705 million gallons a year. Almond growers use about as much water each year as the entire city of Los Angeles. What percentage of California’s water is used by agriculture? 80 %.
The real cause of the problem is Human Induced Climate Change. As droughts increase in frequency and intensity, the sea level is rising. So not only are the droughts a problem, but salt water intrusion is also a problem. As these problems worsen, the solution is not to blame bottled water companies. Nor is the solution to build desalination plants. (Not only do desalination plants contribute to global warming, they also are devastating to the ocean.)
The solution is for humans to take responsibility for the climate change and take action.
