letra de drop in the bucket - ks joel

i just want to make a difference
i want to be a bright light shining in the night like diamonds in the sky
i want to stand with conviction
a concrete pillar of truth, and instill in the youth the will to ask, “why?”
i want to sing songs of redemption, attempting to reconcile the objective insignificance of this existence
with the simultaneous recognition that every decision made remains written in the infinite

lend me your ears…or whatever you got to give
lost minutes from the years you forgot to live
i’ve learned appreciation for each grain in the hourgl-ss
not trippin’ that our vision’s limited to the bottom half
a lot of masks just covering the same face
take the paved jogging path, run into the same place
i’d rather go the road less traveled
leave my footprints in the gravel
grab a sharp rock, carve my name in the bark
(maybe that’ll make me feel like i didn’t go out without a battle)
then happily take the dive into the river
with sungl-sses, a silly hat, and a six-pack; no paddle
just a little backstroke, floating in the current
no matter which way the winds stir it
i know i’ll be okay; and even if i’m not
that won’t stop this cold world from turning
i used to weave, bob, dip, duck, dive, and dodge obstacles
now i just run through them like i’m unstoppable
it’s no optical illusion
if you can convince yourself it’s possible, then it’s possible

sisyphus with the boulder
citizens in the streets being treated like enemy soldiers
politicians sold for a pocket full of gold
to the old man in the back stacking chips on his shoulder
sisyphus with the boulder
little kids praying they even get the chance to grow older
atlas carrying the weight of the world up on his shoulder
zipping his jacket as the weather gets colder

if you’re a high roller or low budget
throw your hands in the sky like you’re trying to touch it
and live like you love it
’cause every single one of us is just another drop in the bucket
if you’re a high roller or go low budget
throw your hands in the sky like you’re trying to touch it
and live like you love it, ’cause when it’s all said and done
every one of us is just another drop in the bucket
