Name: One Small Drop
Duration: P00H02M31S
Description: I got very inspired by a song by Molly Zenobia, another independent musician and songwriter, named “Whirlpool”. It’s a very powerful and effective song, and I wished I could write something as musically expressive of movement. I started experimenting with my harp, and later a camping trip where I visited a waterfall brought the rest of this song together.

lyrics

one small drop
falls from high in the sky
one small tear
grief and pain reappear
each drop falls
each then makes their way
through the earth
as through birth, to where the river flows...
and falls....and bends....and winds

carving bowls out of stone
cleansing ages of dirt
wearing down anything in its way

one light spray
joining millions of drops
cleansing the air
making magic everywhere it falls...
and rises.... I fall...now I rise

carve out the pain from my heart
cleanse my ages of grief
wear down fear that still lies in my way
rush through my anger and pain
pour into my hollow stone
carry new life to an old wounded soul

one small drop...
