One
by: Stephen SimmondsIn light of all the evil things, I'm done
I believe there is only one who can
embrace my soul with purifying love
Your beauty is comparable to none
Many moons and many suns will pass,
our love will last till the very end's begun
That's probably eternally, so let it be
In light of all the evil things, Im done
I believe there is only one...
From the day that I first saw you smile
there was no way to deny the truth
my love for you has made me see the light
Without you I'm helpless like a child
In a world without its droughts; it's clear,
but now your here forever by my side
That's probably eternally, so let it be
In light of all the evil things, Im done
