I will light the match this mornin'
so I won't be alone
watch as she lies silent
but soon light will be gone
oh I will stand arms outstretched
pretend I'm free to roam
oh I will make my way through one more day



how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make

I will hold the candle
'til it burns up my arm
oh I'll keep takin' punches
'til their will grows tired
oh I will stare the sun down
until my eyes go blind
hey, I won't change direction
and I won't change my mind

how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make

I'll swallow poison until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out
'til it fills this room

how much difference
how much difference
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make
