The water runs deep
Violently, unstoppable, uncontrollable
This water drowned our family
This water knows our story
This water runs through our blood
This River
This river also runs deep
This river, this river is calm
Flowing and peaceful
This water gives life
This water saved my family
This water tells our story
This water runs through our blood
These rivers
These rivers are not separate
This is one river
This is one water
The water that is violent
Is the water that brings peace
This water not only knows our story
And lives to tell our story
In death there is a new life
In a new life there is a slow death
But this water
This river
This river is immortal
Immortal water runs through mortal bodies
Living on to tell our story
Our story of life.
After our death
