The Power of One Lyrics

A tired waitress working doubles
Trying hard to make ends meet
A stranger leaves a little kindness
And suddenly she starts to believe
A teacher stays a little later
For a child who’s falling behind
Never knowing that one moment
Could change the course of a life

We all wonder in the quiet
If we’re making any difference at all
But we don’t have to move a mountain
Just answer when we hear the call

One hand reaching
One heart listening
One light burning in the dark
One word landing
One soul opening
That’s how healing always starts
We don’t have to change the whole world
To change somebody’s day
That’s the power
That’s the power
That’s the power of one

A phone call made at just the right time
A shoulder offered through the pain
A simple act of love and mercy
Can help somebody breathe again
Don’t let me miss the person in front of me
For the ones I’ll never meet
Because the smallest seeds of kindness
Grow in ways we’ll never see

The miracles are often hidden
In the ordinary things
A gentle word
An open door
The hope one person brings

One day at a time
One person at a time
One choice to love
One choice to be kind
One life surrendered
One heart set free
Lord let that one
Be me

One hand reaching
One heart listening
One light burning in the dark
One word landing
One soul opening
That’s how healing always starts
And if I never make the headlines
Or leave a legacy for everyone
Let me never underestimate
The power of one
The power of one
One person
One moment
One act of love
The power of one
