The Spark
One little spark, one little flame
Can blaze a trail to glory
Or burn a path of pain
There are whispers through the ages
There are signs in the trees
There is wisdom in the pages
Only some of us will read
And those who lead
Change
It’s never too late
Change
Until it’s too late
The minute, the second, the season
The minute, the second, the season
You never see the fissure till the dam begins to break
You don’t respect the seed until you’re resting in its shade
And you ignore the meek until they’ve claimed the world you made
One little spark, one little flame
The minute, the second, the season
The minute, the second, the season
Change, you can’t hold back a crashing wave
It’s up to you to die or
Change, be blighted by the coming plague
The only way to heal is
Change, you hide behind closed eyes and pray
But you won’t stay the same
The minute, the second, the season
Always
Change
I was there when Zeus was pulling lightning from the sky
Osiris lifted water from the banks to flood the Nile
When Moses spoke to God as one small plant began to light
One little spark, saved all their lives
The minute, the second, the season
The minute, the second, the season
Change, you can’t hold back a crashing wave
It’s up to you to die or
Change, be blighted by the coming plague
The only way to heal is
Change, you hide behind closed eyes and pray
But you won’t stay the same
The minute, the second, the season
Always
Change
And how do we remember every leader in their wake
By the heroes that they favored, by the villains they forsake
Would you know the second coming if you nailed her to the stake
One little spark, one grave mistake
Change, you can’t hold back a crashing wave
It’s up to you to die or
Change, it doesn’t have to end this way
You each can be the spark of
Change
