[Verse 1}
Maybe it’s a smile on the subway
Maybe it’s a whisper in the dark
Or maybe its a hug amidst the heartache
There’s a million different ways that it can start

[Pre-Chorus]
But someone has to start it
Start the motion
Throw the stone
Stir the ocean
Be the hand that reaches out for the unknown

[Chorus]
Sometimes just one drop is all it takes
See the ripples
Watch them turn to waves
Right before your eyes

[Post Chorus]
You never know who it might touch
And soon it might be all of us
Maybe there’s a world that you can change
So start a wave
Oh
[Verse 2]
It doesn’t have to be some epic gesture
Most simple acts of kindness never are
But soon you might be on a grand adventure
Tracing out a path among the stars

[Pre-Chorus]
Will you be the one to start it
Start the motion
Stand alone
Stir the ocean
Be the hand that reaches out for the unknown

[Chorus]
Sometimes just one drop is all it takes
One drop is all it takes
See the ripples
Watch them turn to waves
Right before your eyes

[Post Chorus]
You never know who it might touch
And soon it might be all of us
Maybe there’s a world that you can change
So start a wave
[Bridge]
But someone has to start it
Yeah someone has to start it
Will you be the one to start it
Oh oh
Will you be the one to start it
The one to start it all

[Chorus]
Sometimes just one drop is all it takes
One drop is all it takes
See the ripples
Watch them turn to waves
Right before your eyes

[Post Chorus]
One becomes one hundred then
A hundred thousand joining in
An ocean’s just a drop when it begins
But someone has to start it
Whoa, whoa
Maybe there a world that you can change
So start a wave
Oh
Start a wave
