She Said, He Said

She said "  What can I do...I am only one?"
He said " There's more to life then just having fun."
She said " There's too much to do!"
He said " That may be true."

You may feel like a grain of sand...
left alone in a desolate land...
but if you can just understand...
the effect that just one simple grain can have.

She said " The world's gotten so bad it makes me blue."
He said " See what a grain of sand in ones eye can do."
She said " That might be true."
He said "Or pass out a kind word or two."

You may feel like a grain of sand...
left alone in a desolate land...
but if you can understand...
the effect that just one simple grain can have.

He said " We each have a choice to make...
as to what ever course we take."
She said " The more grains of sand who join in...
will cause a new beach to begin."

You may feel like a grain of sand...
left alone in a desolate land...
but if you can understand...
the effect that just one simple grain can have.
