One Can Be a Lot - Blackjack Billy

He ducked into a church one Sunday, to get out of the rain.

He sat down in the very last row in time to hear the preacher say

Before we bow our heads let me leave you with this thought

Do one good turn for someone… 'cuz one can be a lot

Just one sun lights the sky, just one moon turns the tide.

A man can change the world with just one thought.

One promise made can last forever

Just one rock can bend a river

One god up in heaven is all we’ve got

But sometimes one can be a lot

You could say he was a drinking man, but that’s putting it polite

Drank away his heart and soul, his daughter and his wife

Lord knows he may die trying to get back what he’s lost

He’s been sober one year now… and one can be a lot.

Just one sun lights the sky, just one moon turns the tide.

A man can change the world with just one thought.

One promise made can last forever

Just one rock can bend a river

One god up in heaven is all we’ve got

But sometimes one can be a lot

Standing on your front porch, trying to find my nerve

I’m about to ask for what I know I don’t deserve

Rehearsing every word with all the faith I’ve got

I hope you give one more chance… 'cuz one can be a lot

Just one sun lights the sky, just one moon turns the tide.

A man can change the world with just one thought.

One promise made can last forever

Just one rock can bend a river

One god up in heaven is all we’ve got

But sometimes one can be a lot

Sometimes… One can be a lot
