4. MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I can make a difference
You can make a difference
We can make a difference
In this world of ours (repeat)
I’ve got the power – to do some good
I’ve got the power – to change my attitude
I’ve got the power– to say if I don’t agree
I’ve got the power– to dream what I’d like to be
I can make a difference...
You’ve got the power– to go the extra mile
You’ve got the power– to listen for a while
You’ve got the power– to lend a helping hand
You’ve got the power– to try and understand
I can make a difference...
We’ve got the power– to choose between right or wrong
We’ve got the power – to sing along with this song
We’ve got the power– to show a little grace
We’ve got the power– to make this a better place
I can make a difference...
