Amidst The Street lyrics

So everyday it was there

A little stream amidst the street

It trickled there every day, every night

Fed by pumps, by drains and troughs

Until the earth seeped it up steadily

Drinking up its lifegiving moisture

So everyday it flows unnoticed

A magnet to childish play projects

A universe to microbes unseen

Its route brings life unselfishly

The tracks of muddy edging near

Highlight its existence contrasting

In a world arid and lean of rain

A reminder of resources missing

Wasted by a channel unchecked

That drains into the dry dirt afar

Returning to the earth once again

Its emergence brief and repetitious
