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.

Make a Ripple, Start a Wave
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.
