Lyrics: (Chorus:)
What can one little person do? What can one little me or you do?
What can one little person do to help this world go 'round?
One can help another one, and together we can get the job done.
What can one little person do to help this world?
Harriet Tubman was alone on that darkened road to freedom,
but she couldn't leave her people far behind.
Moses stretched out her hand, and she led them to the freedom land,
for she knew that she had justice on her side.
(Chorus)
When Sojourner Truth was freed, she got down on her knees,
and she prayed to God to help her on her way
With her voice and with her might, she fought for what was right,
for she knew that she had justice on her side.
(Chorus)
Rosa Parks sat on the bus, and the driver said, "you must
move to the back of the bus, or be thrown in jail"
But she stayed and stood her ground, and she brought that old law down,
for she knew that she had justice on her side.
(Chorus)
Brother Martin Luther King told the world "I have a dream!"
and he led this country's fight for human rights
We must work for liberty, until all of us are free,
and we'll know that we have justice on our side.
(Chorus - repeat last line)
What can one little person do? What can one little me or you do?
What can one little person do to help this world go 'round?
One can help another one, and together we can get the job done.
What can one little person do to help this world?
