She was standing in the checkout lane
A baby in her arms, one on the way
Bill came to $40 and 5 cents
In her purse she only had three tens
The cashier asked her what he should take back
When someone put a twenty in her hand
Just one candle, one small spark
Can light the flame that leads the way back from the dark
It’s inside of each of us
No matter where you’re from or who you are
It just takes love to make
One less broken heart
They pushed him down/round at recess time
Called him names and made him cry
Then someone came up next to him
Said come on and play and let’s be friends
Just one candle, one small spark
Can light the flame that leads the way back from the dark
It’s inside of each of us
No matter where you’re from or who you are
It just takes love to make
One less broken heart
It ain’t a mountain that you gotta climb
or cross a river miles wide
(But it)might be the bravest thing that you’ve done yet
We see so much hate in the news
Feels like there’s nothing we can do
But it only takes that first hard step
Just one candle, one small spark
Can light the flame that leads the way back from the dark
It’s inside of each of us
No matter where you’re from or who you are
It just takes love to make
One less broken heart
