Drops Like Me

I am a lonely drop of water
Falling through the sky.
The ground is coming up so fast
I fear the end is nigh'
And the «splat!»
I shake my soggy head
And look around and see.
There’s a lot of little lonely drips
Feeling just like me.
And the water’s gonna roll
From the mountain to the stream.
And the water’s gonna roll
From the river to the sea,
And we roll on together
‘Til everyone can see
That the mighty tidal wave is made
With little bitty drops like me.
Now I’m trickling through the gutter.
Through the filth upon this earth.
Sometimes I have to wonder
Just what my life is worth.
How much does one drop matter?
How much does one drop mean?
But a little bit of water
Can do a whole lot of washing clean.
I am refreshment for the weary.
I am life to the farmer’s field.
And when you jump into that swimming pool
Thank me for how you feel.
I will drop you in the bathtub
And drip until you’re dry.
And when you stand at the River Jordan
I’ll take you to the other side.
