Lyrics

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE (Z)
V1
You can change the world around you
if you try
bring an end to all the cheatin
and the lies
change someone's fortune
bring hope where there's none
You can make a difference
to some lives

CHORUS
You're a man for our time
You can help mankind
You're a man for the age
With a place in history's page

V2
When you stretch your hand warmly
to help a friend
or work to move a mountain
or make a river bend
you'll discover just what can be done
and help others to survive
cos once your work is known
there'll be many others
who will arrive

Bridge
Remove the walls that divide
Don't let the truth be denied
Stand and be counted Never hide

Bridge 2 ALTERNATIVE
If you think it's too tough and you just want to give up
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Just a little true grit, that's all there is to it and you'll find you can then do so much

Bridge alternative 3

If you think it's too tough and you just want to give in
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Just a little true grit, that's all that you need and you'll find you'll win through with a grin
You'll find you have strength within

Bridge alternative 2

If you think it's too tough and you want to give in
Think again, think again, think again
Just a little true grit, that's all you need, and you'll find then that you can win

Option 4
If you think it's too tough and you just want to give up
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Just a little true grit, that's all there is to it - you can do it if you just stay strong



V3
You can change the future if you're brave
make one man free,
not a slave
There is so much to be done
and you can be the one
and you'll walk on with your
head held high
Yeah,
you can make a difference if you try

Chorus
You're a man for our time
You can help mankind
You're a man for the age
With a place in history's page

V4
See the look of trust in the eyes of a child
hear the beat of its heart
help give it a start
bring it to maturity
fulfill its destiny
let it live and not die
you can
make a difference if you try

Outro
Raise your voice, show there is a choice
Just stay strong
and fight to right the wrongs,
Hold true to your vision
bring an end to divisions
Hear the sound of our cries,

You can make a difference if you try
