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
