Drops in The Ocean
what more are we
but drops in the ocean
melting into breakers that crash on a distant shore
we are nothing but petals on roses
withering away in the name of time
we are no more than a speck of light in a galaxy
dead stars still shine
we are the notes to a melody
played out of tune, our song remains
we are the kites that sail on windy days
begging to soar, never quite lifted from the ground
we are all of those things
a misplaced key to our eccentricities
a forgotten password to unlock those things
yes, we are all
merely drops in the ocean
riding a wave to our destiny
but drops in the ocean
melting into breakers that crash on a distant shore
we are nothing but petals on roses
withering away in the name of time
we are no more than a speck of light in a galaxy
dead stars still shine
we are the notes to a melody
played out of tune, our song remains
we are the kites that sail on windy days
begging to soar, never quite lifted from the ground
we are all of those things
a misplaced key to our eccentricities
a forgotten password to unlock those things
yes, we are all
merely drops in the ocean
riding a wave to our destiny
