You don’t have to be a millionaire
To give something of worth,
If you give someone a helping hand,
You give a treasure to this earth, yeah,
You give a treasure to this earth.
You don’t have to be a genius,
Or a standout at playing ball,
If you stand up for a friend in need,
You know you’re really standing tall, yeah,
You know you’re really standing tall.
Tell me, what will you offer today,
To the people passing your way?
You don’t have to be perfection,
To move things in the right direction!
CHORUS:
If you bring a smile to just one face
That is a mighty power!
Because you’ve brought the world to a brighter place
That is a mighty power!
If you add a little love to your own little space,
You add to the love of the whole human race
And that is a mighty power,
That is a mighty power.
You don’t have to lift a mountain,
To show what you can do.
A kind word can lift a sinking heart,
And that’s a mighty power to, yeah
That’s a mighty power too.
You don’t have to wait forever,
To show what you can be.
With an open heart and open eyes,
You’re gonna see an opportunity, right now,
You’re gonna see an opportunity.
It’s all around, you don’t have to look far,
For a chance to show who you are.
You’ve got the power every day,
In what you do and what you say!
CHORUS
We’ve all got the mighty power,
That is a mighty power!
We’ve all got the mighty power,
That is a mighty power!
