some people walk the straight and narrow - some walk the rocky road   some get the silver spoon and some get the heavy load   there's a man in a paper box he smiles whenever we walk by   we just walk a little faster and say "there but for the grace of God go i"   but a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all      i've been up and down this highway and i ain't seen a road sign yet   it's a cold hard world baby you gotta hang on to what you get   i don't believe in miracles but that don't mean they don't come true   well i may not get to heaven but i get a little closer when i'm with you   but a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all         well i get a little tired walkin' down the street   people on my side - everyone i meet   but they don't know what's on my mind   and they don't know that they might find   a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all         right when you think you don't need love is when you need it most   even if you got the father the son and the holy ghost   well there's more to truth baby than what we know is true   ya we wander round in the darkness   but every now and then a little light shines thru   and a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all
