Lyrics

Walkin' on the edge of the water as she bends down
And cries as she puts her face in her hands
Hundreds of thousands of tiny starfish
Washed up and dying in the burning sand

And she stands up and she picks one up
And she says a little prayer as she throws it back in
Go little one, oh little one
You can live to see another day

Oh, I said, "Does it make a difference?"
She said, "Oh, yeah, it really makes a difference
to that one little starfish, that one little starfish
it made all the difference in the world."

Walkin' the river on the border of the forest green
We see a man with a gun in his hand
And he's aimin' it down at a pheasant in the field
And she whispers to me, "He doesn't know how it feels."

And she stands up and she screams right out
And the pheasant flies off into the wilderness
Bye little one, fly little one
You can live to see another day

Oh, I said, "Does it make a difference?"
She said, "Oh, yeah. It really makes a difference
to that one little pheasant, that one little pheasant
it made all the difference in the world."

There's a fine line between life and death
You can only do your very best to help them
So take the time to see the signs
They're everywhere if you're lookin'

She said, "You can make a difference, you can make a difference
You can make it."
One little starfish, just one little starfish

Oh, I said, "Can I make a difference?"
She said, "Oh, yeah. You can make a difference.
To the one that you're helping, the one you are loving
it makes all the difference in the world."

There's a fine line between life and death
You can only do your very best to help them
So take the time to see the signs
They're everywhere if you're lookin'

Walkin' the sidewalk on a city street
And we see a young father with a child at his feet
And he hung a sign, it said "I'll work to eat"
And I'm starting to cry as I bend my knees

And I stand up and I pick the child up
And I say a little prayer as I feed him bread
Eat little one, sweet little one
You can live to see another day

Oh, I said, "I can make a difference"
She said, "Oh, yeah, you can make a difference.
To that one little child, that one little child
it made all the difference in the world."

To that one little starfish, that one little starfish
it made all the difference in the world
To that one little pheasant, that one little pheasant...
