We wrote this to empower people, to help them realize that even though each of us is only 1 person, we can each make a big difference in making the world a better place.


We are more effective at helping others than we often think we are. Miracles can happen when we have a better understanding of how much we can help others, often in simple, little ways.

Lyrics

It doesn't have to be a page in history.

It doesn't have to bring you fame in any way.

A simple act will do -

A special gift from you -

That shines a little light on someone's day and makes


REFRAIN: 

A better world for you,

A better world for me.

The journey starts within our hearts.

Each of us can make a better world.


A solitary spark can chase away the dark.

A single drop of rain helps the river run.

It doesn't take that much -

A smile, a word, a touch -

And suddenly a miracle's begun, and it's


REFRAIN


Keep believing if you dare.

You might find a hero there and make


REFRAIN


Each of us can make a better

Place to build our dreams together.

Each of us can make a better world.
