Drop
Elephant Revival Lyrics

Once I was a big drop of water.
I existed as a large droplet of water.

I was in the desert.
I was situated in a barren land.

I was in high, was in high demand.
I was greatly needed and sought after.

Saw you turn, saw you turn, turn away.
I observed you redirect your attention elsewhere.

Water came down, hit the dry ground.
I descended and impacted the parched soil.

Lost all the facts, slipped through the cracks.
I dissipated and eluded recognition.

Spread around, under and down.
I broadly disseminated myself in various directions.

Down through the ground carry on, now beyond past where all the dancing rained like thunder.
I progressed downwards through the earth, moving beyond where lively dancing and precipitation occurred.

After laughter and music, different sounds to where the thunder became something like the pulsing of the flowers which is something like but nothing, like the pulsing like the hours.
Following joy and music, I arrived in a place where the sound of thunder resembled the rhythm of blossoms, a similarity akin but dissimilar to the passage of time.

But the hour was on time because I slipped into a flower recalled the time to climb the line, a honeysuckle tower.
However, time progressed steadily because I merged with a flower and recounted the moment I ascended a honeysuckle structure.

I was water brought to lifted leaves of daffodils and day lillies.
I represented water that elevated leaves of daffodils and day lilies.

Drank into the grace of trees the aspens like the willows weep.
I assimilated the elegance of trees while aspen trees and willow trees released droplets.

It hung so low it touched below the surface of a still puddle.
An object was suspended in a manner that it reached the bottom of a motionless puddle.

Did I behold reflection told looking back at me the eyes of my body.
I witnessed my body's eyes while examining my reflection.

So I jumped in back into my skin and sang this song of where I'd been.
Subsequently, I leapt into my own skin and sang this melody that depicts my journey.

Once I was a big drop of water.
I previously existed as a large droplet of water.

I spread around and became part of many living in the land.
I disseminated myself and integrated into the collective beings living in the region.

Saw you turn when I turned, turned away.
I assimilated your movements as I moved in the same direction, but you subsequently looked away.

In the still, in the still water.
I was immersed in a calm body of water.

And we're still water.
We continue to be water.
