WHAT CAN ONE LITTLE PERSON DO?

(Words and Music by Sally Rogers)

Chorus:

What can one little person do?  What can one little me or you do?

What can one little person do to help this world go round?

One can help another one and together we can get the job done.

What can one little person do to help this world?

Harriet Tubman was alone

On the darkened road to freedom,

But she couldn’t leave her people far behind.

Moses stretched out her hand.

She led them to the promised land

‘Cause she knew she had justice on her side.

Chorus

When Sojourner Truth was free
She got down on her knees.

Prayed to God to help her on her way.

With her voice and with her might,

She fought for what was right

‘Cause she knew she had justice on her side.

Chorus

Rosa Parks sat on the bus and the driver said “You must

Move to the back of the bus or else be thrown in jail.”

But she stayed and stood her ground,

She brought that old law down

‘Cause she knew she had justice on her side.

Chorus

Brother Martin Luther King,

He told the world “I have a dream.”

He led this country’s fight for human rights.

We must fight for liberty until all of us are free

To know we have justice on our side.

Chorus
