Small wave steady ripple

Started as a whisper in the back of my mind,

Little spark running wild, never stayin’ in line.

Didn’t think that anybody ever heard my sound,

Now the water moves different every time I’m around.

Didn’t come in loud, didn’t shake the shore —

Just a heartbeat tapping on a distant floor.

But something in the quiet started bending the tide,

Now the current keeps pulling me to the other side.

Small wave… steady ripple…

Look how far a little dream can ripple.

Didn’t crash in, didn’t need to be loud —

Still I pulled a whole crowd from a whispering cloud.

Small wave… steady ripple…

But I feel it getting bigger in the middle.

If the world’s gonna move when I breathe,

Then let it move with me.

I remember when it felt like I was singing to a wall,

Dropping songs in the dark like nobody cared at all.

But a moment is a seed and it grows in time,

Now every heartbeat syncs up with mine.

Didn’t need a storm, didn’t need a roar —

Just a pulse catching rhythm in the ocean floor.

Now the tide’s rising slow, but it’s rising for real,

And the pull of something bigger is the pull that I feel.

Small wave… steady ripple…

Look how far a little dream can ripple.

Didn’t crash in, didn’t need to be loud —

Still I pulled a whole crowd from a whispering cloud.

Small wave… steady ripple…

But I feel it getting bigger in the middle.

If the world’s gonna move when I breathe,

Then let it move with me.

If the water wants to carry me, I’ll let it.

If the moment wants to grow, I won’t forget it.

Every listen is a footstep on the shore,

Every ripple is a call for more.

Small wave… steady ripple…

Watch it turn into a tide that’s simple.

Started quiet, now it’s lifting me high —

From a whisper to a rise in the sky.

Small wave… steady ripple…

And the dream’s feeling far from little.

If the world’s gonna move when I breathe,

Then let it move with me.
