Verse 1
D 
G 
D 
I've
been hearing experts
and people on the street
Shouting out the numbers
G 
of the needs they cannot meet
D 
Other problems that abound
People talk of failure,
crying of defeat
and making up excuses,
G 
quoting odds they cannot beat.
D 
They have lost what we have found,
A 
and we're making a difference
G 
D 
in our hometown.
Started with one neighbor,
started with one friend,
Started with one baby,
G 
started only to begin
D 
Just to get it off the ground
So we did an extra favor,
one more hand to lend
Something here to offer,
G 
something there to mend
D 
And it all comes back around
A 
when we're making a difference
G 
D 
in our hometown.
A 
So we're turning up the tempo
G 
D 
and we lose a little sleep
A 
and we're trading in our comfort
G 
D 
on their opportunity
Bm 
then we count   each
moment precious
G 
and we never put them down
Bm 
G 
They will be the difference
A 
D 
G 
D 
in our hometown
Well, heard it in the gospel
and ancient proverbs too
Heard it in the golden rule
Treat them as you'd have
G 
them treating you
Simply profound
D 
Planning for the future
and how we live today
Building up new leaders,
G 
they will have a role to play
D 
When it's time to pass it down
A 
And the circle is unbroken
G 
D 
in our hometown
A 
So we're turning up the tempo
G 
D 
and  we'll lose a little sleep
A 
And we're trading in our comfort
G 
D 
on their opportunity
Bm 
And we count
each moment precious,
G 
we never put them down
Bm 
Cause they will be the difference
G 
A 
D 
in our hometown
A 
Oh and they will be the difference
G 
A 
D 
in our hometown
In our hometown you
