Yeah, isn't it amazing how a man can find himself alone
Calling through the darkness for an answer that is never known
Yeah, isn't it amazing how God can take a broken man
And let him find a fortune and then ruin it with his own two hands
And he climbs on up the hill, on the rock on which he stands
He looks back at the crowd, he looks down at his hands and he says
I AM A DIFFERENCE MAKER
OH, I AM A DIFFERENCE MAKER
OH, I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO SPEAKS TO HIM
AND I AM THE FRIENDLIEST OF FRIENDS OF GOD
Yeah, isn't it amazing how a man can find himself so alone
Calling through the darkness for an answer that is never known
Yeah, isn't it amazing how a god can take a broken man
Yeah, let him find a fortune, let him ruin it with his own two hands
And he walks on up the hill to the rock on which he stands
He looks back at the crowd, he looks down at his hands and he says
I am on the fence about nearly everything I've seen
And I have felt the fire get put out by too much gasoline
And we're all strangers passing through places one afternoon
Life is but a vision in a window that we're peeking through
Helpless conversation with a man who says he cares a lot
A passive confrontation about who might throw a punch or not
And we are all transgressors, we're all sinners, we're all astronauts
So if you're beating death then raise your hand, but shut up if you're not
