lyrics

After a long, dry period of heat, a small cloud shows up in the sky.
And as the first raindrop falls down to earth, a spark of hope and happiness lightens up the people's hearts.

The rain is pouring down for days,
water fills the streets,
small lakes begin to rise.
The soil becomes muddy and soft,
we open the windows and enjoy the breeze.
"bam bam badam bam!"

Come on we moisten our feet, right there on the street!
Let us dance through the rivers on the sidewalk!
Come on we moisten our feet, right there on the street!
The water is exactly what we need!

H2O is seeping into our skin. 
Our legs are slowly sinking in.

We should learn how to swim.
The surface reaches my chin.

This is not just a simple flood,
it's a carrier of life, of flesh & blood.
If they say this was bad - it's not.
It's the starting of something new, my god!

The masses are strong, they drag us along 
while we sing this song.
No, it won't get us home but don't get me wrong,
we'll sing all night long.

And so we drift with the slow current and enjoy the raindrops on our heads and in our hair.
Around us - the rooftops, the only thing left to see of the houses we used to live in.

the water was sent to turn this world upside down, upside down

H2O is seeping into our skin. 
Our legs are slowly sinking in.
Our cities won't be what they were like,
only this time we will get it right!

Turn this world down!
Turn this world upside down!

This is how worlds originate!
