One Less

There's a child
Been abandoned out on the street
Now she's waiting for someone to be her miracle
There's a wife
Somewhere halfway around the world
Begging God for a litte girl she can call her own
Well, worlds collide
And colors fade
And a man and wifre
Brought their little girl home today
And there's one less
One less
One less broken heart in the world tonight
Yeah, there's one less
One less
There's one less broken heart in the world tonight
We are called
To the widows and the orphans
But it's easy to ignore their silent crys
Oh, but every single time
Somebody reaches into the darkness
Makes a choice to help the helpless
They let mercy save a life
And there's one less
One less
One less broken heart in the world tonight
Yeah, there's one less
One less
Yeah, there's one less broken heart in the world tonight
Well the truth is we are all the orphans
But love has left the 99 just to find the one
So let worlds collide
Colors fade
Let your life
Be the miracle today
One less
One less
One less broken heart in the world tonight
Tonight I know there's one less
One less
One less broken heart in the world tonight
One less child without a home
One less birthday gone forgotten
One more soul rising from the bottom
One less night alone
One less child without a home
One less birthday gone forgotten
One more soul rising from the bottom
One less
One less
One less broken heart in the world tonight
