lyrics

Verse 1
Cool water is like a giant train car
Carries oxygen both near and far
Comes down the mountain in rivulets
Aquatic rhythms make a lovely quartet
Music made for life downstream
Submerges air into a water scene
Cold-blooded creatures like the temperature low
For salmon, cutthroat, and aquatic micros

Chorus
Keep it cool
We’ve got to keep this water cool
Cause as the temperatures rising
You know it’s compromising
Life in the creek and all the
Riparian mystique
Cool water flowing down to the deep blue sea

Verse 2
Fish develop at a critical speed
Dissolved oxygen is what they need
Without the trees and their canopy
Temperatures rise, as does turbidity
Farms, factories, and urban life
Can cause the system a lot of strife
Species depart and never mate
Care for your watershed before it’s too late

Chorus

Verse 3
Be a steward of the land you live
Johnson Creek, your motive
Network to find others who care
Join a group and get out there
Plant natives remove the ones that don’t belong
Key out new species listen to the bird song
Share what you love know you have voice
Help direct us to a greener choice

Chorus

Bridge
What you do it matters
To all our planets members

Chorus
