| Only
One
by John Flynn
One night I had the strangest dream … a young man came to me and asked what I had done that day to end the misery I asked What difference does it make? What good could I have done? There are too many people … He said No, there’s only oneOne hungry child - the one you did not feed One lonely soul – the one you did not need One dying heart – the heart that did not bleed For all the things the day has left undone You can change the world with only oneNow lately I’d begun to fear the turning of the earth With every lap around the solar system since my birth I’d see my chances to change my life go from slim to none How many days are left? I asked He said You need just oneOne single day -lived with all your heart One single step -is enough to start Wonderful things -stuff that’s off the chart happen on the journey once begun You can change your world with only oneHe said Though they mesmerize you like a gold watch on a chain you’re more than the boundaries you embrace Reason, thin as angel’s skin, will fly to some high shelf when light that searches through the endless darkness finds itself...One hungry child won’t be denied bread One lonely soul won’t be neglected... One by one dying hearts will heal when they've bled for all the things that they had left undone You can change the world with only one © 2003 Flying Stone Music
