Isn’t it amazing
how a man can find himself alone
Call into the darkness
for an answer that’s he’s never known
Isn’t it amazing
how God can take a broken man
Let him find a fortune
let him 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
And he looks down at his hands and he says
I am a difference maker

I am the difference maker
I am the only one that speaks to him
I am the friendliest of friends of God

Isn’t it amazing
how a man can find himself alone
Call into the darkness
for an answer that’s he’s never known

And he walks on up the hill
on the rock on which he stands
he looks back at the ground
And he looks down at his hands and he says
I am a difference maker

I am on the fence about
nearly everything I’ve seen
And I have felt the fire
be put out by too much gasoline
We’re all strangers passing through
place and time, afternoon
Life is but a vision in a window
that we’re peeking through
It’s a helpless conversation
with a man who says he cares a lot
It’s 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
