Script Water is food
Water is life
Save every drop
so nobody is left behind

Almost 3 percent of water’s fresh
And over 2 billion are water-stressed
Due to climate change and urbanization,
and rapid growth of the world's population,

So plan for tomorrow for the sons and daughters
More than just bodies, we're bodies of water,
Full of it so it’s our identity
So why treat it like it’s our enemy?

Make better choices when you’re eating
Choose fruit and veg that are in season,
Have a water-friendly diet, eat fresh
It uses less water than food that’s processed

it’s peace and prosperity
So having access that’s a necessity
Water is food, water is life
Gotta protect it, leave no-one behind

Make it flow
Protect that H2O
Do it that’s the way to go
Every drop is a heartbeat
let’s rain down

Water is food
Water is life
Save every drop
so nobody is left behind

Water is the source so we need a solution
Our rivers shouldn’t be polluted
Take part in local clean ups
Get vocal speak up!

You can make a change, be more than a dreamer
You can be a local leader
Tell your family and friends about your mission
Speak to the people that make the decisions

So reduce your food waste,
cos it takes a lot of water to get it to your plate
and Rain? store it, collect reuse
turn off the taps, so the less we lose!

Scarcity means conflict between people
So distribution of it should be equal
Everyone have easy access
Nobody left behind on this planet

Make it flow
Protect that H2O
Do it that’s the way to go
Every drop is a heartbeat
let’s rain down

Water is food
Water is life
Save every drop
so nobody is left behind
