Once there was a farmer who lived clear across the sea He walked the beach so many times but you would not believe Once he saw a million starfish laid out on the shore They were lacking water but he could not save them all Sometimes in our lives we say theres nothing we can do Sometimes in our lives we say there's no use Then he spotted a young girl who took them one by one And through them back into the sea she knew she was not done The farmer asked her why she tried he knew there was no use The young girl looked him in his eyes and this was her replie Sometimes in ours lives we say there's nothing we can do Sometimes in our lives we say there's no use She gently set another one into the peacful sea Let me tell you farmer there is so much you can do She gently set another one into the peaceful Sea I may not save a million or enough but can't you see I've changed the life of one Sometimes in our lives we say there's nothing we can do Sometimes in our lives there's no use But let me tell you farmer there is so much you can do She gently set another one into the peaceful Sea I may not save a million or enough but can't you see I've changed the life of one
