Every action starts something in motion
As does every spoken word
It doesn't matter the action
And it doesn't matter if it's heard
A simple movement moves a mountain
Sending snow cascading down
A simple spark might start a fire
That can create ash of a whole town
Throw a pebble in the water
Make a ripple, start a wave
The end result is always greater
Than the effort that you gave
A finger ripple in the bathtub
Sends a wave from end to end
A simple change in wind in motion
Can take a bridge and make it bend
Remember every action causes something
To react in answer to the cause
The end result might go unnoticed
The end result might be a loss
A simple phrase might make a nation
Go to war where thousands die
You can change the way things happen
A little thought, if you just try
Throw a pebble in the water
Make a ripple, start a wave
The end result is always greater
Than the effort that you gave
A finger ripple in the bathtub
Sends a wave from end to end
A simple change in wind in motion
Can take a bridge and make it bend
The world is constantly in motion
words are used and things are done
But regardless of these actions
We'll still continue 'round the sun
An object resting will stay resting
But will react to a force
It only takes a finger ripple
Or a pebble thrown to change the course
Throw a pebble in the water
Make a ripple, start a wave
The end result is always greater
Than the effort that you gave
A finger ripple in the bathtub
Sends a wave from end to end
A simple change in wind in motion
Can take a bridge and make it bend.
