Left a paper scrap upon a wooden table
Just a simple word written clear and plain
"You matter, friend," like a quiet cable
Hanging in the air,
washing off the pain
She picked it up with a heavy heart
And felt the spark begin to start (ohh-ohh)
One little light can cross a thousand miles
One little kindness can become a million smiles From hand to hand,
across the open sea
We're all connected by a simple
melody
In a bustling square under foreign skies
Another hand writes down the very same line
It travels fast through a thousand lives
Like a quiet warmth in the wintertime
Across the border, through the crowded street
A sudden smile when two strangers meet (yeah-yeah)
One little light can cross a thousand miles
One little kindness can become a million smiles From hand to hand,
across the open sea
We're all connected by a simple
melody
We might never know where the message ends
Where the stranger turns to a lifelong friend (hey-ey-ey)
One little light can cross a thousand miles
One little kindness can become a million smiles From hand to hand,
across the open sea
We're all connected by a simple
melody
You matter, my friend
We are all connected in the end (hummmm)
