Lyrics

ONE CHILD
Lyrics and music by Beverly Graham © 2004

Our life stretches out before us, our dreams fall one by one
The sun beats down upon us, and the path is plain
Yet sometimes it?s the children
We?ve Left outside in the rain
You don?t have to fix it, all by yourself (triplet)
You just have to try
Make one moment a little better
Encourage one child to fly

Refrain:

We can help
One child, take one step, one day at a time
We can help
One child, dream one dream, one day at a time

If you wonder what I mean, and you wonder why I said it
If you could only share a moment, I know you would not regret it
You can make a difference, change and rearrange it

Refrain

We can help
One child, take one step, one day at a time
We can help one child, dream one dream, one day at a time

And we are not the future, the children must hold the key
Its up to us to give them light, help each of them to see
One hope becomes reality, One hurt disappears
One child learns to rise above, one child lives free from fear

Refrain (2X)
We can help
One child, take one step, one day at a time
We can help one child, dream one dream, one day at a time

One child, one step, one hope, one dream (4X)
One day, One day, One day, at a--- time
