1. If we want someone to listen Maybe we should change the way we talk Yeah, we may have a lot to say But words alone won’t teach them how to walk We wanna make a difference And help them find their way If they know that we love them They might wanna make a change

We could start the fire burning in their hearts We could be the light shining through the dark We could be the friend that’s there every time they call We don’t need to yell, we don’t gotta shout We can be the hand that picks them off the ground We can show them without saying anything at all

2. In a world that’s always changing It’s hard to find a sturdy place to stand But we can be the house that’s on the rock And show it’s so much better than the sand Yeah we wanna make a difference And bring them to the truth If we live a life of meaning They’ll wanna have what we have too

We could start the fire burning in their hearts We could be the light shining through the dark We could be the friend that’s there every time they call We don’t need to yell, we don’t gotta shout We can be the hand that picks them off the ground We can show them without saying anything at all

They need to know we care about them first ’Cause our actions speak much louder than our words

We could start the fire burning in their hearts We could be the light shining through the dark We could be the friend that’s there every time they call

I will start the fire burning in their hearts I will be the light shining through the dark I will be the friend that’s there every time they call I’m not gonna yell, I’m not gonna shout I will be the hand that picks them off the ground I can show them without saying anything at all Without saying anything at all
