Inspiration Text:
Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world. — Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:9; Babylonian Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 37a.
Lyrics:
Broken hearts, shattered visions, pieced together, one by one
Hurt another and the world is destroyed, but save a life and you will save the world
No more darkness, no more hiding, no more cryin’, no more lies
Looking for the way back home again, save a life and you will save the world
Darkness fades, the morning light appears, shadows dance and come to greet the day
The voices of angels sing
Words of comfort, whispering
Save a life and you will save the world
In the garden, voices singing, wipe your eyes, no more fears
Take my hand we’ll build the world together
Save a life and you will save the world
Morning comes, a new day has begun, see the light and come to greet the day
The voices of angels sing, words of comfort, whispering
Save a life and you will save the world
In the garden, voices singing, wipe your eyes now, no more fears
Take my hand we’ll build the world together, save a life and you will save the world (x3)
