Lyrics

Family of five under Africa’s sky
Warm coloured sunset and the deserts dry
Barren wells, empty holes, hot sand
Scorching the heart of every woman

Sweeping dust they sweat out labours of love
Praying for survival, a sign from above
If droplets of rain pitter patter on their land
Will it be enough to bring floods of freedom

They'll be walking
They’ll be walking for water tonight

Strong mothers use their hands
Use their feet until they are beaten
Proud fathers find a way to teach their children a little more than yesterday
They need food for their families and shoes for their feet
Milk for their babies and clean water
If they use their hands and they use their feet
They’ll walk again this week

They'll be walking (walking), walking for water
They'll be walking (walking), walking for water tonight
