• Ripple Effect

    You hurt me and I hurt you,
    then we both are feeling blue.
    Poke a sore spot, dig it in;
    watch the red spread on the skin.
    Violence rises, catches flame;
    hurt and anger are the same.
    Insanity and destruction loom:
    Nuke bombs are dropped;
    We all go boom.

    It’s just a ripple effect,
    A ripple effect,
    A ripple effect.
    It’s just a ripple effect,
    A ripple effect,
    A ripple effect.

    What if I try to reach out and touch,
    someone I don’t like too much?
    Thinking of someone besides myself,
    brings forgotten things down from the shelf.
    Compassion, empathy, and sacrifice.
    can turn weeds into flowers so nice.
    We’re 70% water, don’t you see?
    So the ripple effect, it starts with me.

    It’s just a ripple effect,
    A ripple effect,
    A ripple effect.
    It’s just a ripple effect,
    A ripple effect,
    A ripple effect.
