[Intro]
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
[Verse 1]
Empty words are not enough
Where there's hurt, we'll be a crutch
When there's thirst, we'll fill each other's cup
Because we care, we love
Enough to share (Enough to share)
[Chorus]
Maybe you and I can't do great things (Do great things)
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today (Today)
In our small way
[Verse 2]
In despair, we'll be the hope (Be the hope)
And the prayer that frees the soul (Frees the soul)
We'll be there to share each lonely road (Lonely road)
Because we love, I know (I know)
We care enough, yeah (We care enough)
[Chorus]
Maybe you and I can't do great things (Do great things)
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today (Today)
In our small way
[Bridge]
Just a little time is all it takes (Just a little time is all it takes)
What a difference just a smile can make, you'll see (We've got)
Love is all we need (We've got love, yeah)
[Chorus]
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
(But we still) But we still can change some things today
In our small way
(La-la-la la-la-la-la-la) Ooh
(La-la-la-la la-la-la la-la) Ooh
(La-la)
(La-la la-la la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la la-la-la la-la)
