When you climbed out of bed this morning
Did you wish you had never been born
Did the weight of the burden your bearing
Seem planted in your side like a thorn

Well it all might seem bigger than you are
Just remember as it spins in a swirl
To the world you’re just one person
But to one person you’re the world

Like a father to his daughter
Like a mother to her son
Like a lover to a lover
You’re someone to someone

While the storm clouds go on raging
As the wind blows the flags unfurl
To the world you’re just one person
But to one person you’re the world

So when you’re down with troubles looming
I’ll be the rock that won’t roll
Call me and I’ll come running
I’ll love you even when we’re old

One small deed becomes a miracle
A single grain of sand becomes a pearl
To the world you’re just one person
But to one person you’re the world
Like mama to her boy
Like daddy to his girl
To the world you’re just one person
But to one person you’re the world

To the world you’re just one person
But to one person you’re the world
