[Verse 1] Dust on the road Cracked clay in our hands Tin cups in a line Waiting on dry sand Kids on the doorstep Legs that would not run Mothers counting tablets Praying for the sun [Chorus] Then the wheels rolled in With that turning sign Shirts of Blue And gold at the edge of time (hey!) They said "Hold out your hand This drop can change your day" From the wells of hope The river found its way Rotary came And the dark turned gray [Verse 2] School was a banyan Lessons in the shade One book for a dozen Half the letters frayed Coughs in the courtyard Fever through the night We learned to live with hurting We’d almost lost the fight [Chorus] Then the wheels rolled in With that turning sign Color Blue And gold at the edge of time (oh yeah) They said "Hold out your hand This drop can change your day" From the wells of hope The river found its way Rotary came And the dark turned gray [Bridge] Little blue caps on tiny tongues Brave small arms Sleeves rolled up New clear water from a shining hand pump First clean cup We all looked up (woah) [Chorus] Now the borewell sings where the dust once blew Girls walk light In their bright sky blue There’s chalk on the slate There’s light in every face From the wells of hope The river found this place Rotary came And we found our grace [Outro] Dust on the road But our heads held high One small village Touching the sky
