"A Drop In The Ocean" lyrics

"A Drop In The Ocean"

Of all my past lives
I can't recall which one
Or if the feeling's real
Have I been here before?
One thing that really keeps me going
The one thing that I know
You've always been on my side

You and me against the world
Oh, the flowers beneath the waves
Will come back one day
Oh, you are the reason
You are the air
Yes, a drop in the ocean
But you're not there
A drop in the ocean

Of all my days
I see back in slow motion
I check my ego at the door
After all, we're not here for long
Nothing's so important
At least nothing that is real
Of feeling hope in motion
Of feeling some emotion

And then one day
The flowers beneath the ice
Will thaw out someday
Ah, you are the reason
I said you are the air
You're like an unsaid emotion
But you're not there
Oh, give me a reason
Can you give me a sign?
Sign, sign, sign
Surely it's beneath the waves
Somewhere out there
It's just a drop in the ocean
