And so he did Every day he had to dig 10 feet down for his daily ration of water - one poor gallon.

Tinha necessidade de nossa cobiça: Nossa liberdade But yet, sadly, he looked up to me. Felt a need for our greed: our freedom But yet, sadly, he looked up to me. Felt a need for our greed: our freedom Disse que tudo o que desejava era um carro e um rádio. Também ele não conseguia ver a relação Said all he really wanted was a car and a radio. He too failed to see the relation Said all he really wanted was a car and a radio. He too failed to see the relation Entre nossas vidas...
