Make the Difference
Verse 1
I’m sure that you’ve noticed
In every city and town,
Darkness and evil
Are all around.
I’m sure that you’ve wondered,
Each and every time,
Why is the world
Riddled with crime?
Why can’t the world be
A sanctuary?
Why can’t we live in peace and
Tranquillity?
We grow up in darkness
So we will seek the Light.
Our world is in chaos
So we will set it right.
Chorus (Pledge)
We are given - a challenge
When we enter - Life.
Submerged - in darkness,
We must find - the Light.
And always remember,
It only takes one
To make the difference in
What we’ll all become.
Verse 2
So, make a private pact,
Known only to you.
Be vigilant and committed to
What’s clean and True.
If you’ve lived in darkness, you can
Recognize the Light.
If you’ve known evil, you can
See through the night.
Why can’t the world be
A sanctuary?
Why can’t we live in peace and
Tranquillity?
We grow up in darkness
So we will seek the Light.
Our world is in chaos
So we will set it right.
Repeat Chorus
We are given - a challenge
When we enter - Life.
Submerged - in darkness,
We must find - the Light.
And always remember,
It only takes one
To make the difference in
What we’ll all become.
Verse 3
It only takes a moment
To destroy peace.
It takes no effort to
Ruin tranquillity.
A hasty word can demolish
A lifetime of love.
Angry whims shatter hard earned
Blessings from above.
Why can’t the world be
A sanctuary?
Why can’t we live in peace and
Tranquillity?
We grow up in darkness
So we will seek the Light.
Our world is in chaos
So we will set it right.
Repeat Chorus
We are given - a challenge
When we enter - Life.
Submerged - in darkness,
We must find - the Light.
And always remember,
It only takes one
To make the difference in
What we’ll all become.
Verse 4
Why can’t the world be
A sanctuary?
Why can’t we live in peace and
Tranquillity?
We grow up in darkness
So we will seek the Light.
Our world is in chaos
So we will set it right.
