Once I was a dewdrop
A million years ago
Rose up on a misty day
Into the clouds and rolled away
Reborn as a raindrop
I fell to earth as rain
To rise and fall and rise and fall
And rise and fall again
Rise and fall, freshwater and brine
Rise and fall and rise and fall until the end of time
Rise and fall, freshwater and brine
Rise and fall and rise and fall until the end of time
Once I was a snowflake
Ten thousand years ago
Drifting in a blizzard deep
Fell into a frozen sleep
Reborn as an iceberg
We calved in Baffin Bay
And waited for the moon-hauled tides
To carry us away
A single fleeting moment
In a vast ocean of time
Floating on a night so calm
