Jerry Herman — One Person

[COUNTESS AURELIA] One person can beat a drum And make enough noise for ten One person can blow a horn And that little boom And that little blare Can make a hundreds others care And one person can hold a torch And light up the sky again And one little voice That's squeaking a song Can make a million voices strong If one person can beat a drum And one person can blow a horn If one person can hold a torch Then one person can change the world! [ENSEMBLE] There may be an army of them And only a handful of us And how can a poor little band Fight a mighty rеgime? [COUNTESS] There may bе a legion of them And only a parcel of us But it isn't the size of the fist It's the size of the dream! [ENSEMBLE] One person can beat a drum And make enough noise for ten One person can blow a horn And that little boom And that little blare Can make a hundreds others care If one person can hold a torch And light up the sky again And one little voice That's squeaking a song Can make a million voices strong [COUNTESS] If one person can beat a drum And one person can blow a horn [ENSEMBLE] If one person can hold a torch Then one person can change the world! There may be an army of them And only a handful of us And how can a poor little band Fight a mighty regime? There may be a legion of them And only a parcel of us But it isn't the size of the fist It's the size of the dream! Size of the dream! Size of the dream! One person can beat a drum And one person can blow a horn If one person can hold a torch Then one person can change the world!
