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
