One By One
One by one
We can start to make things right
by winning
just one fight
One by one
we can make a difference
by just giving up a knife or a gun
One by one
We can give hope
and tie another knot in the love rope
For each knot, someone is saved
With each knot, the rope is pulled tighter
So it's cannot be undone
One by one
We can make someones day brighter
by by giving a few smiles and hugs
and steering them away ffrom hate and drugs
One by one, we can be there
to show how much we care
One by one, we can learn to love
and teach it to each other
so we can give that gift of love to another
One by one, we can teach lolerance
to get rid of violence
One by one, we can break the silence
All together
We can be strong
and stay strong, always and forever
So love with stay around long
If we just work together, one by one
more people will come
They will see the light
and want to help in the fight
One by one, we can do our part
Just by giving a little of our heart
Helping when we see the need
By lending that extra hand
we have done a good deed
Others will follow
One by one

Even when you know you're right,
You still seem
As seasons change from spring to Fall
And all succumbs to winter's call
This life we live it changes too
From season to
“The most important things in life”
To love and share, to honor and care
To seek and find, to put
Another day has come my way as I crawl out of bed.
To face the world, society and work for little bread.
All these days
I am never quite sure where this life is leading me,
whether I am in control.
Maybe there is such a thing as fate,
or maybe
