Story Behind The Song

I started writing this song for a concert I played for soldiers just before they were to be sent back to Iraq. I later finished it, inspired by people who are genuinely dedicated to making the world a better place.

Song Description

Optimistic and inspirational song

Lyrics

There?s a little thing that you can do
To lift the heart of someone who Was too afraid to ask
When a broken heart is on the mend
There is nothing like a friend To lend a helping hand
Even though you may be blue as well
Leave it all behind until you Reach out if you dare
Here?s a little song that you can sing
A ray of light that you can bring To let ?em know you care

Though your work is never mentioned
You?re fighting in the trenches Before the battle even starts
For to ever make a stand And give all that you have
You got to do it from your heart

When you look around this crazy world
A planet that needs to be healed To stem the rising tide
When the herd is headed for the cliff
You don?t have to be so miffed ?Bout being left behind
There are times when you are feeling small
Nothing that you do at all Seems to change a thing
After all what can one person do
Ask Ghandi, Lincoln, remember to Ask Martin Luther King

Though your work is never mentioned
You?re fighting in the trenches Before the battle even starts
For to ever make a stand And give all that you have
You got to do it from your heart
There?s a little song that can be sung
There?s some work that can be done To stem the rising tide

There are times when you are feeling small
Nothing that you do at all Seems to change a thing
After all what can one person do
Ask Ghandi, Lincoln, remember to Ask Martin Luther King
Though you?re work is never mentioned
You?re fighting in the trenches
Before the battle even starts
For to ever make a stand And give all that you have
You got to do it from your heart

There?s a little song that you can sing
Conviction only you can bring To stem? the rising? tide
To stem the rising tide
