You Have Made A Difference

Title – You Have Made A Difference
By – Brian Asselin

Letter from Brian:

My name is Brian Asselin and I am a recent graduate from the teacher’s college program at the University of Ottawa. Towards the end of school, we the students, are reminded how fortunate we are to have principals, administration, and teachers who inspire students everyday. While in teacher’s college, I realized how fortunate I have been to have had such great teachers in my life that have helped shape the person I am today. I wanted to say thank you to all those who go beyond their daily job requirements, so I co-wrote a song with Eric Disero titled

You Have Made A Difference

Thanks so much in advance,

Brian Asselin

Lyrics:

You Have Made A Difference

This song is for those
Who inspire us today
Who always lend a helping hand
To help show us the way

This song is for those
Who see their students through
The tough times in their lives
For that, we say thank you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Refrain:

You have made a difference

You have shaped our minds

You have changed the world

One child at a time

You have always been there

In everything you do

I hope that you’re as proud of me

As I am proud of you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This song is for those
Who heard the silent cries
Who stepped in to wipe the tears
From the children’s eyes

For those who gave us
A safe to grow
A place for us to call our home
Forever we will know… that

[ Refrain ]

This song is for those
Who taught us right from wrong
Who taught us much more than their craft
To help our minds grow strong

This song is for those
Who guide us through and through
So that we can make a life
For that we say thank you

[ Refrain ]

As I look back on my life
Into the path within my reach
I hope I can change a life
Of those that I teach

I can make a difference
All I do is try
Try to see a different world
Through the children’s eyes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Modified Refrain:

And I will always be there

In everything I do

I hope that you’re as proud of me

As I am proud of you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[ Repeat Modified Refrain ]
