[Verse 1] I'm driving down this old familiar road Thinking about the seeds my parents sowed We didn't have riches, but we had enough And every day they poured their love [Chorus] Like drops of water on a thirsty ground Little things to keep the roots held down Faith and kindness, laughter and tears They gave us strength for all the years Drops of life, falling day by day In the way they worked, in the way they prayed From their hearts into mine, steady and true Drops of life still carry me through Every mile I drive, I can see it clear Those drops of life that brought me here [Verse 2] Dad wore the navy like a second skin But when he came home, that's where life began He taught me honor in the quiet way And he showed up for us every day No fancy words, just a steady hand Teaching me how to be a man Every promise kept, every sacrifice A father's love in drops of life [Verse 3] Mama was Mary Poppins and a gentle saint Never too harsh, never too faint She held the house with a sacred cheer Turned simple days into golden years Her faith was woven in the songs she'd sing In bedtime prayers and everything Her love was patient, her smile was bright She poured it out in drops of life [Chorus] Drops of life, falling day by day In the way they worked, in the way they prayed From their hearts into mine, steady and true Drops of life still carry me through Every mile I drive, I can see it clear Those drops of life that brought me here [Bridge] Now I see it flowing down the line Through my children's hands into mine The well they dug will never run dry Living water that never dies [Chorus] Drops of life, falling day by day In the way they loved, in the way they stayed From their hearts into mine, steady and true Drops of life still carry me through Every mile I drive, I whisper amen Thank God for drops of life again Every mile I drive, I whisper amen Thank God for drops of life again [Instrumental]
