Just a Drop
A little drop of sunlight
In a lake of lonely night,
A little drop of comfort
To a mind that's wound up tight,
A little drop of water
In a throat that's feeling dry,
A little dripping teardrop
From an eye that needs a cry.
A drop into your bucket,
A drop into the sea,
A drop lost in the ocean,
Just tiny little me.
It may be all that I can do,
But I will be a drop for you.
