One Drop Songtext
von Old Crow Medicine Show

It takes one drop to lift these many waters
It takes one drop to roll these many waters away
It takes one drop to lift these many waters
′Fore we turn still waters to rolling waves

And it takes one hand to help pull up your brother (hmm, one drop)
It takes one kind word to turn a stranger to a friend (hmm, one drop)
And it takes one ear to listen to each other (hmm, one drop)
Just to hear one heartbeat in rhythm again (hmm, one drop)

It takes one stone to move these many mountains (hmm, one drop)
It takes one spark to light the darkest hour into day (hmm, one drop)
It takes one road to reach a new tomorrow (hmm, one drop)
Where there's room for all on that narrow way (hmm, one drop)

And it takes one drop to lift these many waters
It takes one drop to roll these many waters away
It takes one drop to lift these many waters
′Fore we turn still waters to rolling waves


And it takes one step before the saints go marching (hmm, one drop)
It takes one march before we've got a movement marching in (hmm, one drop)
It takes all kind of saints in step together (hmm, one drop)
'Fore we stand in union hand in hand (hmm, one drop)

And it takes one breath to make the winds start changing (hmm, one drop)
It takes one change to make a world of changes cross the land (hmm, one drop)
And it takes one world spinning altogether (hmm, one drop)
Before this universe will be as planned (hmm, one drop)

And it takes one drop to lift these many waters
It takes one drop to roll these many waters away
It takes one drop to lift these many waters
′Fore we turn still waters to rolling waves

And it takes one drop to lift these many waters (hmm, one drop)
It takes one drop to roll these many waters away (hmm, one drop)
It takes one drop to lift these many waters (hmm, one drop)
′Fore we turn still waters to rolling waves (hmm, one drop)

'Fore we turn still waters to rolling waves (hmm, one drop)
′Fore we turn still waters to rolling waves (hmm, one drop)
