The Lyrics to “One Voice”
Here are the lyrics to “One Voice” by Billy Gilman:
I saw a child who stood so tall
He smiled at me and said he’d fall
If he’s allowed to dream
But dreams would be his only way to live
He ran away but I could hear him say
Ah, ah, ah, ah
With one voice, we’ll sing every song
And we’ll sing it with one voice
With one voice, we’ll right what is wrong
And we’ll leave the world with one voice
One voice
I heard a child who stood so small
He whispered loud to one and all
“I won’t be lost in here”
But he was afraid without a friend or prayer
But still he said I’m gonna find my way
Ah, ah, ah, ah
With one voice, we’ll sing every song
And we’ll sing it with one voice
With one voice, we’ll right what is wrong
And we’ll leave the world with one voice
One voice
But with one voice, we’ll win this war
And together we’ll face the dawn
With one voice, we’ll share this world
And together we’ll make it right
With one voice, we’ll sing every song
And we’ll sing it with one voice
With one voice, we’ll right what is wrong
And we’ll leave the world with one voice
One voice
