about

This song was commissioned by AquAlliance. A non-profit organization that exists to defend northern California waters and to challenge threats to the hydrologic health of the northern Sacramento River watershed. We are honored to be partnered with them in their good work. We humbly ask that you consider donating to their current campaign here: gofund.me/ecd16f6c

lyrics

River Under the River : AquAlliance Song
By MaMuse (Sarah Nutting and Karisha Longaker)

There is a River under the River, moving in darkness, fertile life giver
There is a river under the river, steadily feeding us all

What is hidden, what can’t be seen? This water that lives beneath….
The Source of Everything, the Source of Everything

There is a River under the River, moving in darkness, fertile life giver
There is a river under the river, steadily feeding us all

In the San Joaquin where are the trees?
Why all the dust in the Owen’s Valley?
Waters once flowed wildly
This war causes so much tragedy.

Water Underground, into the cracks with you we go
Keeper of the deeps, your life too precious to be sold, to be sold

-We have witnessed firsthand the draining of the aquifers leading to the desertification of what are now called the “Owens” and “San Joaquin” valleys in California. Due to extreme extraction, the Sacramento Valley is in danger of this same dry fate. The trees, the salmon, the people, are all at stake. As activist and water protector Maude Barlow says, “When you extract water from a fertile place to feed a desert, you do not end up with two fertile places, you end up with two deserts.” We know this now and we can’t un-know it.
What will be our legacy? Will we continue to extract water from the North? Or choose to make amends for where we have gone South?-

We sing out for our lives, sing out in these times for those who cannot speak
Reclaiming our lives, defending the rights of the waters that flow beneath.

Run River, Run River, Run Water, Run
Run River, under the River, Run River Run
There is a River under the River, moving in darkness, fertile life giver
There is a river under the river, steadily feeding us all

Water underground, into the cracks with you we go
Keeper of the deeps, your life too precious to be sold, to be sold

What is hidden, what can’t be seen?
This water that lives beneath
The source of everything... The source of Everything
