Little drops of water, Little drops of water, little grains of sand, little grains of sand,
make the mighty make the mighty ocean and the ocean and the
pleasant land. Little pleasant land. Little minutes, small though minutes, small though they may be, make the they may be, make the
mighty ages of mighty ages of eternity.eternity.
