“One Hand”

One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
And they say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It’s like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm.

And I hear them saying you’ll never change things
and no matter what you do it’s still the same thing
But it’s not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know that it will not change me.

~ Garth Brooks
