A WONDERFUL THING
KERRY PATRICK CLARK
What if one person paused for a teardrop
And with compassion and comfort could bring
Healing or hope for another wouldn't that be a wonderful thing
What if two shoes were taken one evening
And placed on a new pair of feet
A mile would be walked by another wouldn't that be a wonderful thing
CHORUS
A wonderful thing a wonderful thing
Just one act of kindness just one act of change
You know that next step till that final breath, a notice, to choose, to be
A life that is changed a heart that remains
A wonderful thing
What if the eyes that were looking in judgment
Were given a mirror to see
That would be something worth seeing wouldn't that be a wonderful thing
What if the words that were spoken in hatred
Were translated not into blame
Now that would be worth celebrating wouldn't that be a wonderful thing
CHORUS
A wonderful thing a wonderful thing
Just one act of kindness just one act of change
You know that next step till that final breath, a notice, to choose, to be
A life that is changed a heart that remains
A wonderful thing
BRIDGE
It's just like a movie we all play our part
Why when the curtain is closing do I show my heart
There's hope for the future, there's hope for the past
If this is the moment, how will I act?
CHORUS
A wonderful thing a wonderful thing
Just one act of kindness just one act of change
You know that next step till that final breath, a notice, to choose, to be
A life that is changed a heart that remains
A wonderful thing
