One person can beat a drum
and make enough noise for ten.
One person can blow a horn
and that little boom and that little blare
can make a hundred others care.
And one person can hold a torch
and light up the sky again.
can make a million voices strong.
If one person can beat a drum,
and one person can blow a horn,
if one person can hold a torch,
then one person can change the world.
There may be an army of them,
and only a handful of us.
And how can a poor little man
There may be a legion of them,
But it isn't the size of the fist,
it's the size of the dream.
One fist can beat a drum,
One fist can blow a horn,
And that little boom and that little blare
Can make a hundred of us care at all
If one can hold the torch
And light up the sky again
And one little voice that's singing a song
Can make a million voices strong
If one person can beat a drum
And one person can blow a horn
If one person can hold the torch
And one person can change the world
There may be an army of them
And after a poor little band
There may be a legion of them
But it isn't the size of the fist
It's the size of the dream
One person can lead and rule
