I am a drop of the ocean
but You are the Ocean itself
I am a little tiny snowflake
but You are the raging blizzard
- if I lose sight of You
where will I go?
I am a little spark
but You are the all-consuming flame
I am a little thought
but You are the great Thinker
- if I forget who I am
what does it matter?
I am the devotee and You
are the object of Devotion
I am the little self
but You are the I behind all 'I''s
- if all of selfhood vanishes
who will call upon Your name?
I am a little star
but You are the Limitless Light
I need darkness in which to shine
but what of You, O Lord?
When You ponder Your Creation
which lays heaviest upon Your soul
- the cry of laughter or the teardrop?
I am a drop of the ocean
but You are the Ocean itself
I am a little tiny snowflake
but You are the raging blizzard.
If You have a blissful secret
why do You keep it to Yourself?
but You are the Ocean itself
I am a little tiny snowflake
but You are the raging blizzard
- if I lose sight of You
where will I go?
I am a little spark
but You are the all-consuming flame
I am a little thought
but You are the great Thinker
- if I forget who I am
what does it matter?
I am the devotee and You
are the object of Devotion
I am the little self
but You are the I behind all 'I''s
- if all of selfhood vanishes
who will call upon Your name?
I am a little star
but You are the Limitless Light
I need darkness in which to shine
but what of You, O Lord?
When You ponder Your Creation
which lays heaviest upon Your soul
- the cry of laughter or the teardrop?
I am a drop of the ocean
but You are the Ocean itself
I am a little tiny snowflake
but You are the raging blizzard.
If You have a blissful secret
why do You keep it to Yourself?
