It's a crazy world we live in
Bad news all around
Brothers and sisters if we're
gonna make a difference
We're gonna have to stand our ground

It's a drop in the bucket
and a bucket in the pond
and the pond fills the river
and the river rushes on
and every river swells a river
Until the power can't be stopped
and what becomes a mighty ocean
Started as a drop

Down in Alabama
A lady boarded a bus
The driver said, "You're black, you gotta sit in the back."
Rosa said, "I've had enough."
She was a drop in the bucket...

Great Britain ruled over India
Made 'em slaves to the goods they bought
'Til Ghandi took his people to the ocean and said,
"Look.....free salt!"
He was a drop in the bucket...

In the alleys of Calcutta
Mother Theresa lived her life
She did much more than feed the poor
She taught us how to shine our light

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine...
