Did I Make A Difference

I'm caught up in the push and shove

The daily grind burning time spinning wheels

I wonder what I'm doing here

Day to day year to year standing still

Somewhere there's a teacher with a heart that never quits

Staying after school to help some inner city kids

A mother who's a volunteer a soldier In the fight

I can't help but ask myself when I lay down at night

Did I make a difference in somebody's life

What hurts did I heal what wrongs did I right

Did I raise my voice in defense of the truth

Did I lend my hand to the destitute

When my race is run when my song is sung

Will I have to wonder did I make a difference

Did I make a difference

I've been working hard to make a living

And forgetting what true living is

Taking more than giving something's missing

Lord how long can I go on like this

There's a lonely old man down the street

And I should be ashamed I've never been to see him

I don't even know his name

There's kids without their supper in my own neighborhood

Will I look back someday and say that I did all I could

Did I make a difference in somebody's life

What hurts did I heal what wrongs did I right

Did I raise my voice in defense of the truth

Did I lend my hand to the destitute

When my race is run when my song is sung

Will I have to wonder did I make a difference

Did I make a difference

When my race is run when my song is sung

Will I have to wonder did I make a difference

Did I make a difference

Did I make a difference
