A DROP OF WATER

by Dana Lyons, copyright 1991

[A]There's a drop of water on the [C]wall

And the drop's about to [G]fall

and it falls into a [D]trickle


And the trickle's flowing [A]down

Down, down to the [C]ground,

And the moss begins to [G]grow

Watch, watch, watch, [D]watch the water flow


And watch the current become a stream
Busting through the seams
Cracking through the concrete

Bending down the steel
In a raging that is real
A tearing torrent you can feel
Feel the thunder growing, thunder underground

And in my heart, the chains falling apart
The wildness in my soul
And for once in life, for once in life I know

I'm not alone, for the mountains make our bones
With the oceans in our blood
Our feet planted, planted firmly in the mud

We are alive, the burning embers in our eyes
The tingling touch upon our skin
And in the heat of passion we begin to understand

That we are of this land,
That we are part of Earth
and when its threatened we will fight for all we're worth

We watch the dam, the dam come crashing down
Water rushing to the sea

And now the river is free
