One Less Lyrics


Theres a child
Been abandoned on the street
Now shes waiting for someone to be her miracleTheres a wife
Somewhere halfway around the world
Begging God for a little girl she can call her ownWell, worlds collide, and colors fade
And a man and wife brought their little girl home todayAnd theres one less
One less
One less broken heart in the world tonightWe are called
To the widows and the orphans
But its easy to ignore their silent criesOh, but every single time
Somebody reaches into the darkness
Makes a choice to help the helpless
They let mercy save a lifeWell the truth is we are all the orphans
But love has left the ninety-nine
Just to find the oneOne less night alone
One less child without a home
One less birthday gone forgotten
One more soul rising from the bottomOne less

One less
Theres one less broken heart in the world tonight

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
