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
