[Chorus]
Maybe you and I cannot 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 is hurt will be a crush
When there is thirst we will fill each other's cup
Because we care we love enough to share
[Chorus]
Maybe you and I cannot 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 2]
In despair we will be the hope
And the prayer that frees the soul
We will be there to share each lonely road
Because we love, I know
We care enough
[Chorus]
Maybe you and I cannot 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 3]
Just a little time is all it takes
What a difference just a smile can make, you will see
Love is all we need
[Chorus]
Maybe you and I cannot do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
Maybe you and I cannot 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 is hurt will be a crush
When there is thirst we will fill each other's cup
Because we care we love enough to share
[Chorus]
Maybe you and I cannot 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 2]
In despair we will be the hope
And the prayer that frees the soul
We will be there to share each lonely road
Because we love, I know
We care enough
[Chorus]
Maybe you and I cannot 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 3]
Just a little time is all it takes
What a difference just a smile can make, you will see
Love is all we need
[Chorus]
Maybe you and I cannot do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
