Ripples into Waves

from Little Ripples by Eric McGrath

/

lyrics

Just last night, a thousand dead and counting, it was genocide,
And I could have cried,
but someone changed the channel making things alright.

Now I don’t mind, everyone’s got issues and our eyes turn blind,
But I’ve realised, since we’re in this mess together we should probably combine, what’s yours is mine.

So get up, go out, let them know what we’re about,
Take a chance, take a stance.
So many sleeping people, who just don’t know they’re capable of making little ripples into waves.

Now don’t get me wrong, all the preaching hippies they’ve got plans of their own.
I’ve grown too used to my mobile phone, and I still leave the lights on when there’s nobody home.

But back in real life, I think that everyone deserves an equal chance to survive and I’ve been meaning to criticise each administration that accepts that their hands are tied. Well as long as it’s us that thrives.

So get up, go out, let them know what we’re about,
Take a chance, take a stance.
So many sleeping people, who just don’t know they’re capable of making little ripples into waves.

All the words that turn to nothing, float downstream, someone else’s dreams.

So get up, go out, let them know what we’re about,
