Lyrics
Make A Difference In One
Verse 1
I heard on the news today, another kid lost their way.
Took a gun and shot someone, what's our society become?
Have we gotten so busy we've lost touch
Of our little one's that mean so much?
God help us all to realize
We're most important in their little eyes.
Chorus:
I can't change the world on my own
But I can love the child in my home.
I can be their everyday, if only a phone call away.
And when a parents work is done...
I'll have made a difference in one
Verse 2
Picked up the phone and called my kid,
What'ya doin', how've you been?
Are you havin' a good day?
Honey I just called to say...
Just how much I loved you, n' I wondered if you really knew
That when you need me, you know I'll be there...
Then I hung up the phone and said a prayer.
Bridge:
Oh, before we wonder where time went
Time with our child is time well spent.
Use it wise and teach them well
If we do, love will not fail.
