  • Just one voice
    Singing in the darkness
    All it takes is one voice
    Singing so they hear what's on your mind
    And when you look around you'll find
    There's more than

    One voice
    Singing in the darkness
    Joining with your one voice
    Each and every note another rock
    And hands are joined and fears unlock

    If only one voice
    Would start it on it's own
    You need just one voice
    Facing the unknown
    And then that one voice
    Would never be alone
    It takes that one voice

    Pa pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa

    It takes that one voice
    Just one voice
    Singing in the darkness
    All it takes just one voice
    Shout it out and let it ring
    Just one voice
    It takes that one voice
    And everyone will sing Writer/s: BARRY MANILOW

  • Adrienne from Orange County CaOne of my favorites..brings me to tears...
  • Vonda from Kansas City, MoSpeaking of different back-up singers... My high-school, Oak Park in Kansas City, was one of the groups to sing with Barry. Of course, I was in Kindergarten, but the legacy of that performance was still shared with us years later!
  • Steven from Oconto Falls, WiSome editions of "One Voice", like some live recordings, have different back-up singers(especially live!!). Either way, though, the song is wonderful. Barry's really got talent in music!
