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 friendship One handclap lifts a soul One star can guide a ship at the sea One vote can change a nation One sunbeam lights a room One candle wipes all the darkness One laugh will conquer gloom One step must start each journey One word must start each prayer One hope will raise our spirits One touch can show you care One voice can speak with wisdom One heart can know what’s true One life can make a difference You see it’s up to you.
