Make The Difference - Archie Hamilton & Tigerlight

Hey Babe, do you remember, back in 1969? We gathered round the room; you sang yours and I sang mine. We took turns with the guitar, in the front and centre seat. Shel and Kris and Dylan, and a couple off the street. Joni Mitchell cried on "Both Sides Now". We sang songs that made a difference and we can again somehow. Everybody knew that this was quite a special night. Graeme Nash was nervous in the hot seat, in the light. Joe South was total magic, and we all walked in his shoes. Orbison and Rabbit cried and they rocked the country blues. New Berry, San Francisco, Maybelle, Joy. We sang songs that made a difference, June was pregnant with my boy. Oh, I could make a livin' drivin' nails or drivin' trucks. Sleep beneath the bridge or in the streets, down on my luck. I'd stand the cold and hunger if they'd let me hear the songs. Everybody write one that us bums can sing along. Keep it from the heart and down to earth: Sing the songs that make a difference, Give us all our money's worth. Hey, Keep it from the heart and down to earth: Sing the songs that make a difference, Give us all our money's worth.

With open eyes I'm walking to the light Cause I've been sleeping way too long This blurry vision had me living blind Show me what's really going on The world is in need right now It's time to let love be loud We gotta be what we preach about We can make a difference We can do our talking with our hands and feet Love is on a mission Let the difference start with you and me Hey Finding what's broke so we can build it up Healing the ones that have been hurt Even a little just might be enough But first we've got to get to work The world is in need right now It's time to let love reach out And let them know what we're all about We can make a difference (Hey) We can do our talking with our hands and feet Love is on a mission Let the difference start with you and me Hey If you change a heart You can change the world Gotta take a step or we'll never know What are we waiting for? We can make a difference (Hey) We can make it We can make it You can make it I can make it Let's get to work Let's get to work All the people say Ooh, Ooh We can make a difference We can do our talking with our hands and feet Oh, Love is on a mission (Love is on a mission) Let the difference start with you and me (Start with you and me) If you change a heart, You can change the world Gotta take a step or we'll never know (We'll never know) Oh, What are we waiting for? Let's get to work Let's get to work (Hey) Let's get to work (Let's get to work) Let's get to work We can make it You can make it I can make it

All men have secrets and here is mine So let it be known For we have been through hell and high tide I think I can rely on you And yet you start to recoil Heavy words are so lightly thrown But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you So, what difference does it make? So, what difference does it make? It makes none But now you have gone And you must be looking very old tonight The devil will find work for idle hands to do I stole and I lied, and why? Because you asked me to But now you make me feel so ashamed Because I've only got two hands Well, I'm still fond of you, uh-ho-ho So, what difference does it make? Oh, what difference does it make? Oh, it makes none But now you have gone And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight Oh, the devil will find work for idle hands to do I stole, and then I lied Just because you asked me to But now you know the truth about me You won't see me anymore Well, I'm still fond of you, uh-ho-ho But no more apologies No more apologies Oh, I'm too tired I'm so sick and tired And I'm feeling very sick and ill today But I'm still fond of you, uh-ho-ho Oh, my sacred one Oh...

If you read in the paper that I went away Would it make any difference to you? If I packed my things and left town today Would it make any difference to you? Do you, do you even know? Do you even know that I'm still alive? Oh, I wonder, I wonder if I ever, oh, cross If I ever cross your sweet mind If I got in, if I got into trouble And I send for you Would you come, would you come Or would you stay away? If we never love again Like we used to do Would it make, oh Would it make any difference to you?
