This world
Is battered and broken
The wounds are still open
And it’s fighting to breath
And all that
I can do is offer
A hand for a need
And the better side of me
And I have
Looked all around me
And I’ve seen the pain
And the faith on its knees
But I know
That I’m just one soul here
But I’m gonna lead
With the better side of me
‘Cause every single one of us matters
Redemption is the door that’s never closed
And even the least of our light scatters
Yea, even a little bit can make a difference
Yea this world
Is battered and broken
The wounds are still open
And it’s fighting to breath
Oh and I know
I’m just one in a million
But I’m gonna lead
With the better side of me
‘Cause every single one of us matters
Redemption is the door that’s never closed
And even the least of our light scatters
Yea, even a little bit can make a difference
Oh and I know
I’m just one in a million
But I’m gonna lead
With the better side of me
And all that
I can do is offer
A hand for a need
And the better side of me
All I can do is offer
The better side of me
