I Can

I Can

If my life could make a difference, and my dreams come true
If I could do only things that matter and if I could matter to you
If I could risk my life everyday, bring out all the love that's inside
Then maybe I will have made a difference when I've died

If I could bring out love in those around me, and make that love last
If I could dream a better tomorrow and finally let go of my past
If I could start each day with a purpose, sleep knowing that I tried
Then maybe my life will have made a difference when I've died

If I could make everyone count with me and make no one count too much
If I could hold to all of my promises but not use them as a crutch
If the laughs I've laughed mean as much to me as tears I have cried
Then maybe my life will be making a difference before I've died

What man do I want to be so this may come to pass?
Someone strong and free to walk naked without a mask
Protector to those who are weak a father, a lover, a friend
leader to those who are meek, living life with open hands

I'm making my life make a difference, making all my dreams come true
I'm doing only things that matter and I know I matter to you
I'm risking my life everyday, bringing out all the love that's inside
I'm already making a difference now because I am alive
