It's the dams

The Mekong is mighty, the Mekong is dammed
The Mekong is flooded in the dry season
Is it by nature, or is it caused by dams?

“It’s the dams!”, said the trees
“For I haven’t seen anything like that
In almost three centuries”.

“It’s true!”, said the model
“For what you see is not natural
It’s a half time more than normal”.

The cycle has changed
The delicate balance hangs
Wet forests linger
Birds and fish wither.

Man versus river
Power for growth or water for life?
Let us care and find an answer
Lest Mother River loses her might.
