about

Mayim Chaim, © 2015
Sukkot is the beginning of the rainy season in the Middle East, and a time to celebrate the life-giving gifts of water. In this song, we remember how all water is connected and how we must be water-stewards.

lyrics

Mayim Chayim - by Joanie Calem, ©2015

Chorus:
Water, water, water, water, מיים (echo)
Water, water, water, water, חיים (echo)
Water, water, water, water, מיים (echo)
Water, water, water, water, חיים (echo)

The water from the sky flows down into the puddles,
The water from the puddles flows down into the creeks,
The water from the creeks flows down into the ponds,
The water from the ponds flows down into the streams.
Chorus

The water from the streams flows down into the lakes,
The water from the lakes flows down into the rivers,
The water from the rivers flows down into the ocean,
The water from the ocean flows up into the sky.
Chorus

Water here and there, but not a drop to spare
The water in the cycle is for everyone to share
Hear the water flow, hear the water call
The water of the earth must be enough for all.
Chorus
