Oh little trickle, babbling brook On your quest, to meet the sea You pass through a little town And passing through, do pass by me Your minute falls, your rippling The chatter of your endless flow How sweet it is to hear it, sweeter even to know Your noble quest, destination Where you go and where you are from See the rain make ripples on your ever moving surface Increasing your magnitude Indeed, it is a sweet service See you pass around and over All your obstacles You are the calm before the storm Soft ripples and gurgling Like slowly marching soldiers To reinforce and strengthen, those waves you go to meet And crash harder upon the besieged shore You soldiers of the endless sea
