Don Tomlinson wrote or co-wrote every song on this site and without generative AI involvement. Every sound recording on this site is the product of its professional original sound recording having been uploaded to an AI music site solely for purposes of changing the vocalist, updating the production, and sometimes adding another genre (with the melody changed only derivatively to accommodate the additional genre). Virtually all companies in the music licensing industry require any song they license to have been 100% human written. All underlying musical compositions on this site were 100% human written. For comparison and other purposes, the original sound recordings of almost all the songs on this site may be heard at www.solidsterlingmusic.com.

Lyrics

VERSE
Sleeping on the backseat of her old car
So near she is and yet so far
From the street where we reside
It's like her life has been cast aside

VERSE
It was she who strived and she who tried
With no one to help, she just sits and cries
She did everything she knew to do
Still wound up down a dark avenue

Pre-CHORUS
Now all she needs is for someone to care

CHORUS
The salvation of a soul begins with the view
That but for the grace of God there goes me or you
Let's do something good; set a Christmas goal
Everyone helping someone; the salvation of a soul

SOLO/VERSE
We have only one life to live
Part of life should be what we give
To those whose world is cold and blue
The gift of a lift; the right thing to do

Repeat PRE-CHORUS/Repeat CHORUS (2x)/TAG
Won’t you give it a try, one person at a time
The salvation of a soul
