This song is performed by Michael Jackson and appears on the album Got To Be There (1971) and on the album Ben (1972).


Spoken Intro
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
1st Verse
Empty words are not enough
Where there's hurt, we'll be a crutch
When there's thirst, we'll fill each other's cup
Because we care, we love enough to share
Chorus
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
2nd Verse
In despair we'll be the hope
And the prayer that frees the soul
We'll be there to share each lonely road
Because we love, I know we care enough
Chorus
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
Bridge
Just a little time is all it takes
What a difference just a smile can make you'll see
Love is all we need
Chorus
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way

Written and Composed by Beatrice Verdi and Christine Yarian
