It Only Takes One by Alex Wojtach

It only takes one

One to help two

To save three and four

To accept five

To show six who seven truly is

To let eight be eight

Make nine feel loved

Let ten and eleven not feel afraid

Show twelve what it needs to know

Stop thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen

Realize sixteen’s problem

Let seventeen be a leader

Let eighteen make its own choices

And tell nineteen to help

Then when twenty follows

They all will

Because it only takes one

To show everyone the way

To help

To stop

To love

And accept.
