Living in a world

Where nothing can stay the same

Where everyone is fretting

Day after day

 

Why should those who need it

Have to go without

Are we trying to destroy

Thousands of lives with this drought

 

Jobs will soon go

Houses will soon follow

Friends and family on the street

California filled with sorrow

 

If there was one thing I could change

To make all these lives better

I'd fill the lakes and wells 

Instead of just writing letters

 

But for now we can just pray

That this new bill will help us all

Because my one thing I would change

May not happen til next fall
