ONE KIND WORD © Plimmer/Ryan
This is for the weak and weary
Who keep pleading for a voice
This is for the down and desperate
Who are told they have no choice
This is for the lost and lonesome
Needin' love down to the bone
This is for the wounded warriors
Who had their dreams turned to stone
Love can be a lifeline
When there ain't no hope in sight
Love can be a beacon
Shinin' through the darkest night
One small act of mercy
Drops us to our knees to pray
Helps us to keep movin'
To go on just another day
Who knows-- savin' someone's life
Could be one kind word away …
This is for the sick and dying
Whose only enemy is time
This is for those in prison
For their color, not their crime
This is for the hurt and homeless
Who've watched the system break their pride
This is for all the dreamers
Who have no dreams left inside
When it all burns down to ashes in the wind
That’s where it all begins
Your Phoenix will rise again
Cause love can be a lifeline
Love can be a beacon
Love can be a lifeline
When there ain't no hope in sight
Love can be a beacon
Shinin' through the darkest night
One small act of mercy
Drops us to our knees to pray
Helps us to keep movin'
To go on just another day
Who knows-- savin' someone's life
Could be one kind word away …
