If you knew the power of your word Would you care about what people heard? If you knew someone was alone and defenseless Would you care enough to stop being so senseless? If you knew a heart was wounded and jaded Would you make someone feel appreciated? If you knew the power of a man's greed Would you give your money to someone in need? If you knew the reason why people take abuse Would you take the time to change their views? If you knew a teenager who was about to give birth Would you share the meaning of life and it's worth? If you knew a person with disease was dying Would you tell them to give up or to keep on trying? If you knew the meaning behind a poor man stealing Would you punish him for wrong doing without feeling? If you knew a child who didn't believe in the Lord Would you take a moment to share the love you had stored? If you knew a girl who cut her pain with blades to her skin Would you look at her in shame and say she was a sin? If you knew a hungry family had no food to live Would you sacrifice yourself and offer what you could give? If you knew a boy who never learned to read and write Would you take the time to see his inner light? If you knew that sadness brought all of this pain Would you care enough to bring sunshine to the rain? If you knew the power of your own significance Would you realize that you alone can make a difference?
