INTRO (whispered) Drop, drop, drop in the ocean Drop, drop, drop in the ocean Drop, drop, drop in the ocean Drop, drop, drop in the ocean
A (verse 1 ) Can you hear? There's a whisper in the air. Can you feel that a new heart is beating? Each drop runs down to the end of the river, Where the past and the future are one.
B (verse 2) Some may sail to the ends of the world, But no matter how mighty their journey, Ev'ry stranger they meet will tomorrow be a brother, Ev'ry life's another drop in the ocean.
C (chorus 1) I'm a drop in the ocean, drop of emotion: I'm a part of the ever-changing tide. I can rise up as rain, I can fall down like thunder. All it takes is just a drop in the ocean.
D (bridge)
E (verse 3) Some have died for a wish to be free; Some at war, some for no crime or reason. Ev'ry tear falling down helped the world tell its story: Ev'ry life's another drop in the ocean
F (chorus 2) I'm a drop in the ocean, drop of emotion: I'm a part of the ever-changing tide. I can rise up as rain, I can fall down like thunder. All it takes is just a drop in the ocean.
G (bridge) (whispered) Drop, drop, drop in the ocean Drop, drop, drop in the ocean Drop, drop, drop in the ocean Drop, drop, drop in the ocean Big Yellow Taxi
