some people walk the straight and narrow - some walk the rocky road

some get the silver spoon and some get the heavy load

there's a man in a paper box he smiles whenever we walk by

we just walk a little faster and say "there but for the grace of God go i"

but a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all



i've been up and down this highway and i ain't seen a road sign yet

it's a cold hard world baby you gotta hang on to what you get

i don't believe in miracles but that don't mean they don't come true

well i may not get to heaven but i get a little closer when i'm with you

but a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all





well i get a little tired walkin' down the street

people on my side - everyone i meet

but they don't know what's on my mind

and they don't know that they might find

a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all





right when you think you don't need love is when you need it most

even if you got the father the son and the holy ghost

well there's more to truth baby than what we know is true

ya we wander round in the darkness

but every now and then a little light shines thru

and a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all
