about

So I've begun recording my early morning writing/playing sessions while I'm watching my little one. The collection is affectionately called the "Dolly Sessions." If you're listening to this, it's because you are a friend.

"Cold Water" is my call to action song. If there is one cause I am behind it's the "Be Excellent To Each Other" Campaign. Yes, a fictitious non-profit, but my belief that if you have the power and ability to be a positive human being, you have the power to alter the course of the world.

Don't sell yourself short. There's lots of hearts out there in need of a little TLC. Sometimes they just need some water, and that's a powerful thing to offer to someone.

lyrics

VERSE I
How am I to take a child
protect her in a world gone wild
I hope I have it in me
Don't know how to explain things

Like Daddy why are some kids hungry
And others they want to hurt me
I feel the tears already
god will put there to save me

CHANNEL
You see that's love pouring out
The passion fills the hungry mouth
Let it all out, Let it all out
It's the only way to save each other

CHORUS
Give the world a big cup of cold water
Fighting won't make us love each other
Everything is heating up
Time for us to cool it down
Give the world a big ol cup of cold water
Give the world a big old cup of cold water

VERSE II
We all have different missions
See through different visions
Not one of us the same
But bloods what fuels our viens

Without a heart were lifeless
And to each other useless
Better use it while you got one
know you're down here for a reason

Now I don't say this to get you down
It's cause we need to pledge a vow
To just smile at each other
Make an enemy a brother

CHANNEL
life is always counting down
Your time for passions running out
Let it all out, let it all out
It's the only way to save each other

CHORUS
Give the world a big cup of cold water
Fighting won't make us love each other
Everything is heating up
Time for us to cool it down
Give the world a big ol cup of cold water

OUTRO
Mothers and Fathers
Brothers and Daughters
We can pick it up now
Even though we have faltered
i dont think the world
can take it very much longer
We got to give the world a big old cup of cold water
Give the world a big old cup of cold water
Give the world a big old cup of cold water
