Lyrics

You Can Be a Champion (In Somebody?s Life)

There?s a boy who needs somebody who can keep him on the path
To be there when the times get tough, someone to make him laugh
And there?s a power in the giving, in the time that you invest
To help a young man make it through, to achieve his very best

Chorus:
There?s a future in that young man?s eyes, and you can make it bright
You can be a champion in somebody?s life
You can be the difference, you can teach him wrong from right
You can be a champion in somebody?s life

There?s a young man who must face the odds, who feels so all alone
His mother?s doing all she can, to keep things strong at home
But she knows he needs a mentor, to help guide him when times are tough
To help him make the right choices, to have strength when things get rough

Chrous:
There?s a future in that young man?s eyes, and you can make it bright
You can be a champion in somebody?s life
You can be the difference, you can teach him wrong from right
You can be a champion in somebody?s life

Four years the child has waited, for someone he could depend
Four years the child has dreamed and hoped, but his hopes are near the end
Cause the waiting list is long, and the champions are too few
Yeah, you could be his champion, what this boy needs is you

Chorus:
