Will You Make a Differance
Do you want to live and die
Without changing all their lives
What justification do you have for living
If not to change the world by giving
For better or worse
We are here
You may laugh and even jeer
But when looking back, you cannot slake
The need to better what's left in YOUR wake
What do you leave behind,
Did you make a body, soul, and mind
Or make a heart keep on beating
In a life that was so fleeting
So do what you can do today
To live life a different way
Making a difference when you can
Maybe like it was, some great plan

I read the 'make a difference' theme and thought of all the times I've heard someone tell me, 'if I could redo anything in the past, I would have helped this person.' I hear it more often than you would think. They believe that if they had helped this person or have been nicer to this person then it would have made the person's life better or even saved it. We never know what the repercussions of our actions will be. We can, with a few simple words, save a life that would otherwise have been taken. The only way we can know we did all that we could, is to live our lives in the best way we know how, no matter the circumstances. I believe that we make a difference in every life we come into contact with. That is my reason for writing this song.
