This song is available on "Positive Choices for Youth"

Well, the world's so big and I'm so small,
It hardly seems I matter at all.
Sometimes I think I'd like to do something to help out
With all the problems of the world,
But whenever I sit down and think it through,
I always wonder, "What can one person do?"

"Well, what can one person do?"
is a very good question
if you don't do anything at all.
You can spend your time saving every little dime
or just curled up by the wall.
But if you think back some over all that's been done
and you wonder who did it and where it came from,
Figure it out, without a doubt,
One person at a time did it all.

One person at a time, it sure works fine,
Roll up your sleeves, sign on the dotted line.
Whatever gets done, is done by one,
One person at a time does it all, yeah!
One person at a time does it all.

"Well, what can one person do?"
is a very good question
if you don't do anything at all.
You can stay in bed, and pull the covers overhead,
and wait for the sky to fall.
But if each one would just do what they could,
working one at a time we could do a lot of good.
Figure it out, without a doubt,
One person at a time does it all.

One person at a time, it sure works fine,
Just pick up your load and get in line.
Whatever gets done is done by one,
One person at a time does it all, yeah!
One person at a time does it all.

"Well, what can one person do?" is a very good question
if you don't do anything at all.
You can soak in a tub or join a social club,
or just go shopping at the mall.
But if each one would work side by side,
with another one the work gets multiplied.
Figure it out, without a doubt,
One person at a time does it all.

One person at a time, it sure works fine,
No use to wait around for a better time.
Whatever gets done, is done by one.
One person at a time does it all, yeah!
One person at a time does it all.
(repeat last line and fade)
