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 rollin' waves
And it takes one hand to help pull up your brother And it takes one kind word to turn a stranger to a friend And it takes one ear to listen to each other Just to hear one heartbeat in rhythm again
It takes one stone to move thes5 many mountains It takes one spark to light the dark5r hour into day It takes one road to reach a new tomorrow Where there's room for all on that narrow way
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 rollin' waves
And it takes one step before the saints go marching It takes one march before we've got a movement marching in It takes all kinds of saints in step together For we stand in union, hand in hand And it takes one breath to make the winds start changin' It takes one change to make a world of changes across the land And it takes one world spinning all together Before this universe will be as planned
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 rollin' waves
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 rollin' waves Oh, 'fore we turn still waters to rollin' waves 'Fore we turn still waters to rollin' waves
