[Verse 1]

That tall ice tea you ordered

Is running all over the place

And the waitress who tipped it over

Has got her hands up to her face

Now you can rub it in or help wipe it up

[Pre-Chorus]

The choice is up to you

But keep in mind just how much rides

On what you're gonna to do

[Chorus]

Well it might be the difference

Between a smile and a sign

It might be the difference

Between a tear and a sparking eye

[Verse 2]

How she's gonna answer when he asks

"Honey, how was your day?"

Well it might be the difference that you make

The little boy's favorite hot wheels car

Shines just out of his reach

The bottom of that drain's too far

A longer arm is what he needs

Now you can walk on by or you can hunker down

[Pre-Chorus]

The choice is up to you

But keep in mind just how much rides

On what you're gonna do

[Chorus]

Well it might be the difference

Between a smile and a sign

It might be the difference

Between a tear and a sparking eye

[Verse 2]

The tale he'll have to tell when he says

"Momma! Guess what happened today!"

Well it might be the difference that you make

Maybe you watch the news

And think there's nothing you can do

But what this bug old world could use

Is a lot of people just like you

To decide they're gonna make a change

One kindness at a time

[Bridge]

If we get down to the wire

Who knows how little might save the day

Well it might be the difference that you make

[Chorus]

Well it might be the difference

Between a smile and a sign

It might be the difference

Between a tear and a sparking eye
