One Little Starfish

DEVON
Walking on the edge of the water
As he bends down and cries
As he puts his face in his hands
Hundreds of thousands of tiny starfish
Washed up and dying in the burning sand
And he stands up and he picks one up
And he says a little prayer as he throws it back in

ANGEL
Go little one, oh little one
You can live to see another day

DEVON
Oh, I say, does it make a difference?
He says

ANGEL
Oh yeah
It really makes a difference
To that one little starfish
That one little starfish
It makes all the difference in the world

DEVON
Walking the river
On the border of the forest green
We see a man with a gun in his hand
And he's aiming it down
At a pheasant in the field
And he whispers to me

ANGEL
He doesn't know how it feels

DEVON
And he stands up
And he screams right out
And the pheasant flies off into the wilderness

ANGEL
Bye little one
Fly little one
You can live to see another day

DEVON
Oh, I say, does it make a difference?
He says

ANGEL
Oh yeah
It really makes a difference
To that one little pheasant
That one little pheasant
It makes all the difference in the world

ANGEL (WITH CHORUS)
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'

You can make a difference
You can make a difference
You can make it
You can make a difference
You can make a difference
You can make it
You can make a difference
You can make a difference
You can make it
You can make a difference
You can make a difference
You can make it

ANGEL (WITH CHORUS)
One little starfish
Just one little starfish
One little starfish
Just one little starfish

DEVON
Oh, I say
Can I make a difference?
He says

ANGEL
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

ANGEL (WITH CHORUS)
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'

DEVON
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 say
I can make a difference
He says

ANGEL
Oh yeah
You can make a difference
To that one little child
That one little child
It made all the difference in the world

ANGEL (WITH CHORUS)
To that one little starfish
That one little starfish
It made all the difference in the world
To that one little pheasant
