One Child at a Time (Compassion Song)
Airborne - The Continentals
One Child at a Time (Compassion Song)
All Over the World - Continentals' 40th Anniversary
Lyrics
The darkest night is lit by just one candle
And loneliness retreats with just one touch
But in a world of pain and heartache
There are times I wonder
Does the little I can do mean that much
Reaching through the distance out to one I've never met
The journey of a thousand miles begins with this one step
Chorus 1:
And one child at a time will receive the gift of laughter
As one child at a time we erase the face of fear
Turning good intentions into action
Living in the spirit of compassion
We may not reach them all but we'll try
One child at a time
For somewhere in this world within a distand land
A future filled with hope is resting in my hands
So I will strike a match and hold my candle high
And I will do my part in shining heaven's light
Chorus 2:
One child at a time will receive the gift of laughter
As one child at a time, we erase the face of fear
We'll pray that love will multiply these children we can care for
'til each one becomes a thousand
And a thousand becomes more and more
(Repeat Chorus 2)
One child at a time
