One in a Billion

Looking at the beach I see a thousand grains of sand,

A single grain of sand is but a worthless piece of dust,

Without a purpose, it's deemed worthless, as it sits there on your hand.

It slips through your fingers and is picked up by a gust.

Looking at the sky I see a million sparkling stars,

A single sparkling star is but a worthless ball of gas.

Without a purpose, it's deemed worthless, as you gaze at it afar,

But you quickly lose sight of it in the twinkling mass.

Looking at the world I see a billion living humans,

A single human being is but a worthless mass of flesh.

Without a purpose, it's deemed worthless, mixed up in an illusion,

But a single human being has the chance to change the rest.
