A Small Difference (lyrics)
Be Hungry, but not greedy
Chase your dreams but don’t tread on the needy
We all need to see how
This world’s not just for us but for many more to come now
If we all make a small difference and change the world a little for the better
We’ll change the world a lot
Be thoughtful
Be Kind, don’t let others get left behind
Be Brave, put out your hand
reach out to someone who never had the same chance
If we all make a small dierence and change the world a little for the better
We’ll change the world a lot
Open your heart
A gentle smile could be a small part of a better day, a better time
A better world we all leave behind
