(Dehm/Seeger/Applegate/bots)
[Englische Version von "Das weiche Wasser", geschrieben Ende der siebziger Jahre von Diether Dehm / Lerryn für die Friedensbewegung. Erschienen auf dem Tonträger "Entrüstung" von "BOTS" -  Textlich überarbeitet und in Zusammenarbeit mit Pete Seeger, Herbst 2010.)



A drop of water stands alone
come join the others in this call
together we will turn the stone
together as a waterfall


Surely now  our  road is long
remember hardships of the past
but moving makes the water strong
no rock was ever made to last

As water turns these walls  to sand
though we are weak  we understand
it's time to heed the water's call
no rock could stand  the waterfall

For Europe has seen 2 world wars
a 3rd would surely end us all
Be strong, believe,  don't change your course
(love force is like a waterfall)   (no rock could stand the waterfall)

While hungry children cry in vain
a  banquet's  set with arsenals
the tablecloth with blood is stained
we'll wash it in the waterfall

As water turns stonewalls  to sand
though we are weak  we understand
it's time to heed the water's call
no rock could stand  the waterfall

Monopoly the icecold game
where every figure stands alone
the winner always wants the same
but power turns them into stone

Come show you're strength come show your grace
come dancing at our festive ball
we're still part of the human race
no rock could stand the waterfall

As water turns stonewalls  to sand
though we are weak  we understand
it's time to heed the water's call
no rock could stand  the waterfall
