They
say I am one, yes only one.
They
say I am young, yes, too young to care.
They
say I can't see, and they say I don't know.
They
say it's involved, just too involved for me.
Yes,
they say I am one and one doesn't matter.
They
say it's impossible, just nonsense and chatter.
But I
say I'm one, oh, yes I am one!
I am
one that can change the chatter to matter.
I am
one with innocence who believes in one's worth.
I am
one that can see great gifts from our birth.
I am
one who studies to understand truths.
Yes,
I'm the one that works so that we won't lose.
The
one that has hope for our glorious future.
And
the one who lives for blessings unmeasured.
I am
the one that defends, the one that sings.
Yes,
the one that watches and sends prayers on the wings.
It is
true, as they say, that I am only one,
But
I'm the one that can turn on the sun.
For
together we're strong and together sing songs.
Together
we'll share and together we'll care.
Though
our stature is small and our experience light,
We are
one in thought, and one in might.
For we
are the Young Citizens of America.
