Watch What You Say ..........Drop A Pebble.


Drop a pebble in the water, just a splash, and it’s gone....
Drop a pebble in the water, just a splash, and it’s gone;
But there’s half a hundred ripples circling on and on and on, Spreading, spreading from the centre, flowing on out to sea. And there is no way of telling where the end is going to be.

Drop a pebble in the water; in a minute you'll forget, But there’s little waves a-flowing and there’s ripples circling yet, And those little waves a-flowing to a great big wave have grown;
You’ve disturbed a mighty river just by dropping in a stone.

Drop an unkind word, or be careless: in a minute it is gone; But there’s half a hundred ripples circling on and on and on, They keep spreading, spreading, spreading from the centre as they go,
And there is no way to stop them, once you’ve started the flow.

Drop an unkind word, or be careless: in a minute you forget; But there’s little waves a-flowing, and there’s ripples circling yet. And perhaps in some sad heart a mighty wave of tears you’ve stirred, And disturbed a life that was happy until you dropped that unkind word.

Drop a word of cheer and kindness: just a flash and it is gone; But there is half a hundred ripples circling on and on and on, Bearing hope and joy and comfort on each splashing, dashing wave,
Till you wouldn’t believe the volume of the one kind word you gave.


Drop a word of cheer and kindness: in a minute you'll forget; But there’s gladness still a–swelling, and there’s joy circling yet. And you’ve rolled a wave of comfort whose sweet music can be heard, Over miles and miles of water just by dropping one kind word.
