Story Behind The Song
I was at a leadership conference and Bono was speaking to the church about the progress that has been made in helping the worlds children and children with HIV. It was very inspirational and he was talking about his organization "ONE". I kept thinking One child, One, One, we can change the whole world by doing one thing.. each one of us and I started writing, and the song was born.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Sitting in the darkness/ Afraid and alone
No where to go/ No place to call home
Verse 2
A lost little child,/ He begins to cry.
But no tears come/Cause the well has run dry
Prechorus
He needs a hero/Please don't turn away
We hold his future in our hands today
Chorus
One child/One life Be the Angel in his eyes
One Child/ No choice We need to be his voice
Can't we save one child? Oh oh mmmmmm
Verse 3
She needs someone to care/ to hold her, and Let her know
That watching over her is a deeper love,,/and this love will flow
Verse 4
Through our hearts to our hands/ So we can save our little ones
We all have the power/Each and everyone
Prechorus 2
She needs a hero/Please don't look away
She sees her future in our eyes today
Chorus 2
One child/ One life Be the Angel in her eyes
One Child/ No choice We need to be her voice
Can't we save one child?
Bridge:
Dirty and broken/ Cold and weak
Speak for the unspoken/ Give the hope that they seek
We can change the whole world/ One child at a time
Listen to their heart beat/ It's just like yours and mine!
Chorus 3 (soft)
One Child / One Heart A Soul that's torn apart
One Child/ One life Give them their paradise
Can't we save...
Final Chorus
One Child/ One life/ Be the Angel in their eyes...
One Child/ No choice/ We need to be their voice
Can't we save one child , oh oh/ Can't we save one child,
One child... One child....ooooommmmoooo
