One Person
[COUNTESS AURELIA]
One person can beat a drum
And make enough noise for ten
One person can blow a horn
And that little boom
And that little blare
Can make a hundreds others care

And one person can hold a torch
And light up the sky again
And one little voice
That's squeaking a song
Can make a million voices strong

If one person can beat a drum
And one person can blow a horn
If one person can hold a torch
Then one person can change the world!

[ENSEMBLE]
There may be an army of them
And only a handful of us
And how can a poor little band
Fight a mighty rеgime?

[COUNTESS]
There may bе a legion of them
And only a parcel of us
But it isn't the size of the fist
It's the size of the dream!

There may be an army of them
And only a handful of us
And how can a poor little band
Fight a mighty regime?
There may be a legion of them
And only a parcel of us
But it isn't the size of the fist
It's the size of the dream!
Size of the dream!
Size of the dream!

One person can beat a drum
And one person can blow a horn
If one person can hold a torch
Then one person can change the world!
