----- BACKGROUND INFO -----
I'm not sure exactly when I began this song... The earliest dated copy of it that I have in my files, is from
01/09/04 - so, that's what I'm using as its initialization date. I've recorded an initial draft of this, and
the violin part is almost ready for recording. So, the next step re. this song, will be to create a recorded copy
of it that has violin. All I'm posting for now, is the lyrics. Once I've made a finished copy available, I'll
consider posting the guitar chords.

==============================
A drop of rain falls in the river
like a single tear from a weeping God - for
loneliness, and broken hearts - for
greed, and all the pain it's caused.
It was just one among many, shed for what we’ve become.
It was just one among many, that have come and then gone.
An orange leaf drifts down from on high
like a single sigh from an ancient God - for
all the failures seen of spirit;; for
all the faded dreams, now done.
It was just one among many, falling lost and alone.
It was just one among many - season of change, had begun.
I went back to that old town, and wandered around.
I walked the streets and looked at the shops -
Buttercup, in a turbulent ocean of clowns.
Remembering what we did and how it was,
how we argued, and couldn't fix
love,...
I was just one among many, that you abused for your fun.
You were just one among many, using your love, like a gun.
Nobody noticed, when heaven opened.
We were too preoccupied with our daily lives - with
all the things that were unfinished, and
all the things not yet begun.
It was just one among many, reaching out to us all.
It was just one among many, that has come and then gone.
A tiny pine sprouts deep in the woods
like a single kiss from a patient God - for
all the children born in one day; for
all the futures, making more love.
It was just one among many - reaching up for the sky.
Each one, one among many - learning how to get by.
And, I’m one among many.
And, you are just one among many.
We are each one among many.
You were just one among many
I was just one among many.
That has come and then gone.
