Verse 1
Walkin' through the city streets today.
The world is growin' colder in so many ways.
Take a look around, and you can see,
There's hopelessness in living, with many in need.
So few people reachin' out
To give a helping hand.
It's a selfish world we're living in,
But change it we can.
Chorus 1
We can be the sunshine in somebody's corner.
We can be the lifeboat for someone who's sinking at sea.
We can change the world and help others make it happen,
But it's gotta start with you and me.
Verse 2
There's something we just gotta do,
Help the broken-hearted
By healing their wounds.
Jesus gave His life for them, and we should do the same.
He feels for the lost and lonely,
Let's tell them today.
Chorus 2
We can be the sunshine in somebody's corner.
We can be the lifeboat for someone who's sinking at sea.
We can change the world and help others make it happen,
But it's gotta start with you and me.
Bridge
Let's ease the pain,
And heal the hearts
Of the war-torn and weary,
And those that thirst
In the heat of the desert.
