The Water's Different

Depending on the way you look at it,
The water's different.
If you want to,
You can see all the colors in it.
You can only see the rainbow,
If you believe in such.
And if you don't believe in the man in the moon, 
You wont see much.
A fat man can fit down a chimney
And stay clean.
While little children stay in bed
And have sweet dreams.
Look for a shooting star
You can't miss it.
But depending on the way you look at it, 
The water's different.
