The One Thing

Sometimes you find out what you wanted
Isn't really what you need
And the dream in all its promise
Was never meant to be
All your hopes and desperation
Won't make it like it was
And you believe the pain will never end
Believe me in time it does
CHORUS
You've gotta know when love is over
You've gotta learn to carry on
And with the world upon your shoulders
You walk away when hope is gone
When your golden road has reached the end
You find a way to start again you know
There's a time for love a time for letting go
When you're standin' tall tomorrow
Looking back at yesterday
Through the memory of your sorrow
How the dawn was so far away
You'll be far beyond the shadow
Where hearts can learn to shine
And you'll realize the endless night
Was only a moment in time
CHORUS
The night is long the night is cold
With nothing to believe in
Just hold on, 'cause life goes on
Your new day is waiting, let go and let it begin
CHORUS

We may be strangers
We may be worlds apart sometimes
And it's hard to accept
The things we just don't understand
So blind to each other
We only see one side of nowhere
Some things we may never know
If there's one thing you should ever know
CHORUS
Soul of my soul, heart of my heart
The greatest treasure of my life that's what you are
Soul of my soul, child of my heart
I love you more than you know, soul of my soul
Into this world
We come with a heart that's open wide
And the best of this life
Is all I ever want for you
The love you believe in, your every dream
Your every passion
In time I know you'll come to see
Nothin' means as much to me
CHORUS
There'll come a time when you'll be on your own
But in your heart you're never far from home
Every road you take
Your every living day
You will always be, you will always be
The soul of my soul
CHORUS
Soul of my soul, heart of my heart
Some kind of miracle of life that's what you are
Blood of my blood, light of my life
You mean much more than you know
Soul of my soul

Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart
Oh Ooh Ooh


Searchin' my soul, searchin' for somethin'
To find a way to make you believe, yeah
And what can I say, words don't mean nothin'
Oh, what can I do, to prove what I'm feelin' for you
Oh, I could promise you love eternally
Swear you mean the world to me
Tell you over and over, get down on my knees
To hold you and make you believe


CHORUS
Gotta get close to you, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms, and listen to the voice of my heart
Baby, the only way you'll know the sound inside my soul
Gotta get close to me, and listen to the voice of my heart


Look into my eyes, don't look behind you
Let me take you where heaven is waiting
Right here in my arms, yeah
I promise this time, real love will find you
Oh, what can I do, to just make this one thing come true
Oh, I would take your heart, into my hands
Shelter you, make you understand
Tell you over and over, you're all that I need
To hold you and make you believe


CHORUS


Talkin' 'bout some deep emotion
You'll find it when you look in my eyes
Lookin' for some real emotion
Come into my life, come into my arms
Come closer, come closer
It don't mean a thing until I can make you believe


Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart


CHORUS


(listen to the voice of my heart) Baby
(listen to the voice of my heart)
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Baby, get close to me

Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But, if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
CHORUS
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long, till I'm gonna need
Someone to lean on
You can call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem, that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride, if I have things
You need to borrow
For no one can fill, those of your needs
That you won't let show
CHORUS
If there is a load, you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load
If you just call me...call me
If you need a friend....call me
If you need a friend....If you ever need a friend
Call me....Call me....

Under the endless sky
Beneath a million stars
Within the course of a lifetime
How very young we are
As I stumble on this journey
Along the road to what is real
I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
With all the lessons of my learning
And the strength that I possess
Still there are mountains I wish I was moving
That take much more than my best
There are plans beyond my power
There are dreams beyond my reach
Oh these eyes deceive the words I speak
Don't tell the story inside
So don't believe the face you see
It's only the face of my pride
CHORUS
I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of stone
I can't be anything more than I'm made of
Move heaven and earth on my own
I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I can bend I can break I can feel
I'm not made of steel
They teach you well to wear your armor
But what you've learned is just a lie
And there's a price to be paid for denying
With every tear you never cry
Don't ever show, don't let them know
The heart you never reveal
Don't ask me why don't make me hide
The pain you don't think I can feel
CHORUS
I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I can bend I can break I can feel
I'm not made of steel
(solo)
Oh don't believe the face you see
It's only the face of my ...only the face of my pride
CHORUS
I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone
I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone

I see your face and feel your heartache
I see the trace of the tears you have cried
The silent sound of the heart left unspoken
You were strong enough to hide
All your life, no one's ever shown you
What it's really like to have someone to hold you
CHORUS
In the arms of love, heaven's just a heartbeat away
I'll be your light in the dark, your shield from the storm
Your shelter from the rain
And in the arms of love I'll lift you above all the madness
All of the pain
And you'll be safe and warm here in the arms of love
We search this world for a little compassion
For just one look through the eyes of a child
For one more chance to be a believer
While there's still a chance in time
All your life no one there beside you
Close your eyes and let this moment find you
CHORUS
High above the world where dreams are sailing
Far beyond the brightest shinin' star
Where everything you've waited for is waiting
CHORUS
I'll keep you far from harm here in the arms of love
