"Ripple Effect"

It's a powerful thing
Watching a drop hitting the water
A singular being
Having say over all the others
Having an effect

And I wonder what my ripple is
When the sum of myself is joined with hers and his
Are we making waves

We could drop a word and watch it spread
Like propaganda in another person's head
Advertising lies or love and life instead
I'm wondering
Do you know the effect you have?

When I see tiny waves spread out
Like a soundwave when a person shouts
Making noise and all of the water hears it
And even moreso move to the sound of your voice
Effecting their placement
Effecting their choice
Oh, what a powerful drop we are

We could drop a word and watch it spread
Like propaganda in another person's head
Advertising lies or love and life instead
I'm wondering
Do you know the effect you have?

And you say that even skipping stones
Have to settle at the ocean's floor
That ripples only sound in ponds and stop
But what is a sea but a multitude of drops?
A multitude of drops
