lyrics

One Life
© 1996 Kelly Wallin and Ferryn Martin

Prologue:
A cold day in December down Alabama Way
Her feet were cold from working, so she climbed aboard to stay
When she sat down did she know the ripples this pebble thrown had started
The lives she changed with just one act...just one life

CHORUS:
Like the wings of distant butterflies, one life can change it all
Storms are born of just a breeze, single shots bring war
If you believe it matters not the things you do today
Remember those who've gone before, the difference one life made

A woman in Calcutta who feeds the hungry child
She could turn away to pray, but she goes another mile
Through the drive of her devotion to the downtrod, does she see
The difference made by simple acts of kindness, by just one life

CHORUS

Even now, a girl wanders down a highway in her mind
She looks out on this planet and the speed of humankind
She says her life means nothing, that she cannot do a thing
All's not lost if she can see the power of one life ...

CHORUS
