The Difference You Make

Morning shadows hang above my head,

Will I have the strength to leave my bed?

All I have to do is touch the ground,

Easier to do when you’re around.

So I lie here hoping to be found,

Waiting for my heart to settle down.

CHORUS:

It’s the difference you make,

It’s the lives that you save,

And though you don’t know,

Just how far your love goes,

There’s a difference you make.

Walking through the day is often hard,

Feeling like a scattered bunch of leaves in the yard,

I could gather each one to a pile,

Soft and fragile waiting for a child,

Or a gust of wind could make them fly,

Either way, you’re rakin’ by my side.

CHORUS:

It’s the difference you make,

It’s the lives that you save,

And though you don’t know,

Just how far your love goes,

Bridge:

There’s a difference you make to

me constantly just being who you are.

I don’t need anything more.

From the moment you came to

me, life has been more than just possible.

You make me want to explore.

But when I see the chaos in my mind,

A thousand spinning clocks I wish I could unwind,

Take each one with all its moving parts,

Making second hand demands upon my heart.

With precision, they attack at will,

But the thought of you makes time stand still.

CHORUS:

It’s the difference you make,

It’s the lives that you save,

And though you don’t know,

Just how far your love goes,

There’s a difference you make.
