Oak Ridge Boys, The - Did I Make A Difference Lyrics
I’m caught up in the push and shove
The daily grind, burning time, spinning wheels;
I wonder what I’m doing here
Day to day, year to year, standing still.
Staying after school to help some inner-city kids,
A mother who’s a volunteer, a Soldier in the fight,
And I can’t help but ask myself when I lay down at night.
[CHORUS:]
Did I make a difference in somebody’s life?
What hurts did I heal?
What wrongs did I right?
Did I raise my voice in defence of the truth?
Did I lend my hand to the destitute?
Will I have to wonder
Did I make a difference?
Did I make a difference?
I’ve been working hard to make a living
And forgetting what true living is.
Taking more than giving; something’s missing.
Lord how long can I go on like this?
There’s a lonely old man down the street and I should be ashamed,
I’ve never been to see him; I don’t even know his name.
There’s kids without their supper in my own neighbourhood.
Will I look back someday and say that I did all I could?
[CHORUS]
When my race is run, when my song is sung,
Will I have to wonder
Did I make a difference?
Did I make a difference?
Did I make a difference?

You are so right, but I hope that people will help those who are less able to get on their feet and follow the message of this song.. it's not about religion, it's about helping your felllow man.. how hard is that?
Kathphlox agree 100 percent help your fellow man
Well said my friend
I really don't do Jesus stuff.. even though I was a brought up Catholic... but I do believe in giving when you are able.. so I suggest you do the same in whatever field you can.. it feels good to give, just do it ;)
What great message from the Oak Ridge Boys as we pursue our lives, purpose and fulfillment.
A quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
