Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Isn't it amazing how a man can find himself alone

Call into the darkness for an answer 

that's he's never known

Isn't it amazing how God can take a broken man

Let him find a fortune let him ruin 

it with his own two hands


And he walks on up the hill

on the rock on which he stands

he looks back at the crowd

And he looks down at his hands and he says

I am a difference maker.


I am the difference maker

I am the only one that speaks to him

I am the friendliest of friends of God.


Isn't it amazing how a man can find himself alone

Call into the darkness for an answer 

that's he's never known


And he walks on up the hill

on the rock on which he stands

he looks back at the ground

And he looks down at his hands and he says

I am a difference maker.


I am the difference maker

I am the only one that speaks to him

I am the friendliest of friends of God.


I am on the fence about nearly everything I've seen

And I have felt the fire be put out by too much gasoline

We're all strangers passing through, place and time, afternoon

Life is but a vision in a window that we're peeking through


It's a helpless conversation with a man who says 

he cares a lot

It's a hopeless confrontation about 

who might throw a punch or not

And we are all transgressors, we're all sinners, 

we're all astronauts

So if you're beating death then raise your hand 

but shut up if you're not.


I am the difference maker

I am the only one that speaks to him

I am the friendliest of friends of God.


I am the difference maker

I am the only one that speaks to him

I am the friendliest of friends of God.
