[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

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
