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
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
Because we love, I know
We care enough
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
Just a little time is all it takes
What a difference just a smile can make, you'll see
Love is all we need
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
