"The Difference" is the third single from The Wallflowers' 1996 album, Bringing Down the Horse. The single was released in mid-1997. Though it did not achieve the chart-topping success of previous single "One Headlight" on either Billboard rock chart, it spent 8 weeks at #3 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and peaked at #5 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It also peaked at #23 on the Hot 100 Airplay charts in 1997.
The Difference is the first full-length release from UK skate punk band Pendleton. It was released on 1 July 2008 by Angry Penguin Records. It followed the band's previously released EP, You, by Us.
The Difference was recorded at NADA Studios in New Windsor, New York with producer John Naclerio, famed for working with bands such as My Chemical Romance, Senses Fail, Bayside and Brand New.
Despite the success of the band's previous release, You, by Us and the high profile production of The Difference, the band parted ways soon after the release of the album. Whilst no statement has been forthcoming from the band as the reasons behind the split, several line up changes occurred immediately prior to the recording of the The Difference (particularly the departure of original frontman Mike Hayes). It is possible that this instability led to the bands downfall.
Sometimes I’m lazy and drag my feet, my walk becomes a
crawl
Motivation I had takes a hike, standards begin to fall
I’m a child of the King that has a nice ring, should be
changin’ lives you see
Well I’m feeling lazy and sittin’ around
Well it’s easier to me
Chorus 1:
How did Daniel face the lions?
How did Moses part the sea?
How did Noah build that ark?
What’s so wrong with me?
If it’s faith Lord I’m missing, could You show me some
right now?
If I need to catch a glimpse of You, could You show me
Yourself now?
Six a.m. and then I’m hitting snooze, time to face
another day
Two paths to choose mine or His
Will I follow or will I stray?
I wanna make a difference, to invest in eternity
(Without You) Without You I’m inadequate and powerless
to succeed
Repeat Chorus
Callin’ out for Your wisdom, for the moving of Your
hand
Asking You for Your guidance and the courage to take a
stand
That’s how Daniel faced the lions, and Moses split that
That’s how I’ll make a difference, by the Spirit of God
in me
If it’s faith Lord I’m missin’, could You show me some
right now?
If I need to catch a glimpse of You, could You show me
Yourself now?
Callin’ out for Your wisdom, for the moving of Your
hand (moving of Your hand)
Asking You for Your guidance and the courage to take a
stand
Chorus 2:
How did Daniel (How did Daniel)?
Moses, how did Moses?
Noah, He built that ark
And what’s so wrong with me?
If it’s faith Lord I’m missing, could You show me some
right now? (I need some now)
If I need to catch a glimpse of You, could You show me
Yourself now?
