One eye
Just one eye
That's all it takes to see
One eye to view the deep corruption of a land
One eye to shed a tear for they who cannot stand
One eye to give out light a voice cannot convey
One eye to single out the true and honest way

One voice
Just one voice
That's all it takes to lead
One voice to stand out in a darkened sea of gray
One voice to penetrate the never changing day
One voice to tell the world the things that need to change
One voice to rally up the beaten and the strange

One hand
Just one hand
That's all it takes to help
One hand to lead a prayer a million voices strong
One hand to shelter good and stay all that is wrong
One hand to lift a brother when he starts to fall
One hand to raise the banner high above it all

One heart
Just one heart
That's all it takes to change
One heart to cry out when a voice cannot be heard
One heart to understand the soul behind the word
One heart to know the pain that hate and bondage bring
One heart to carry on, and of freedom to sing.
