A Drop in the Bucket

Water under the bridge Out of the clear blue sky Won't heal us now The riverbed is dry Needless to say We were all desire The future was looking bright The future was on fire Half the time I hate it Half the time I lie I don't see how we can make it I only wish we'd try When I'm feeling anxious You prove all isn't lost Not 'til the fires outflank us If they won't try to save it You won't let it die Truth has no say it Has a battle cry Hope is a dare A voice in the choir A drop in the bucket That's putting out the fire Cripple it with greed Bury it alive Hope is a seed One drop and it will thrive That's why it leads Back into the fire Back into the fire And it won't be the same If we make it out The ink was dry Long before the drought When we betrayed our nature We betrayed ourselves And as much as compassion saves Disinformation sells Clocks are ticking fast now But you still give me pause Salvation's in the struggle That carries the lost cause Grief might still engulf us But we're more than a drop Our future is upon us If they won't try to save it You won't let it die Truth has no say It has a battle cry Hope is a dare A voice in the choir A drop in the bucket That's putting out the fire They'd wither it with greed They'd bury it alive But hope is a seed It only needs one drop to rise Go where it leads Back into the fire Back into the fire
