Drop a stone into the water.
In a moment it is gone
But there are a hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on

Say an unkind word this moment
In a moment it is gone
But there are a hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on

Say a word of cheer and splendor
In a moment it is gone
But there are a hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on
