One Life To Make A Difference
One SONG can spark a moment
One FLOWER can wake a dream
One TREE can start a forest
One BIRD can herald spring
One SMILE begins a friendship
One HANDCLASP lifts a soul
One STAR can lead a ship at sea
One WORD can frame the goal
One VOTE can change a nation
One SUNBEAM lights a room
One CANDLE wipes out darkness
One LAUGH will conquer gloom
One HOPE will raise our spirits
One TOUCH can show you care
One STEP must start each journey
One WORD must start each prayer
One VOICE can speak with wisdom
One HEART can know what’s true
One LIFE can make a difference
If it be yours, the CHOICE is up to you
