Lyrics:
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today

In our small way

Empty words are not enough
Where there's hurt, we'll be a crush
When there's thirst, we'll fill each other's cup
Because we care, we love enough to share
(Enough to share)

*
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way

In despair we'll be the hope
And the prayer that frees the soul
We'll be there to share each lonely road (Lonely road)
Because we love, I know (I know)
We care enough

(* Repeat)

Just a little time is all it takes
What a difference just a smile can make, you'll see
Love is all we need, yeah

(* Repeat with ad lib)
