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

So alive, when you're near
Sometimes this pounding in my heart is all that I can hear
Everyday, every night
I feel my weakness gettin' stronger
With each moment passin' by
I keep tryin' to tell my heart
Just a matter of time, till the feeling subsides
But time doesn't change a thing
And I want you to know
That I need you more than ever
CHORUS
Never get enough of your love
It would only take me
Till the end of forever
Never get enough of your love
Heaven knows I've tried
But I can't get enough of your love
Can't deny what I feel
The more I fall into this dream the more I know it's real
I just run to your touch
'Cause nothin' else can satisfy this hunger for your love
They say that a time will come when the thrill is gone
Still it keeps goin' strong
And time doesn't mean a thing
'Cause as good as it gets
Oh it just keeps gettin' better
CHORUS
The more I feel the more I feel about you
The trouble is I never get enough
The more I live the more I just can't live without you
I can't get enough
No never enough of your love
CHORUS

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

You can live your life on the edge of your seat
You can take your place down on easy street
Or just lose your mind
Over things only money can but
But it's a fact of life no matter what you do
Every stake ya claim, every dream come true
Down deep inside these kinda things never satisfy
Oh love is the precious thing
Set ya free and give your heart the wings, to fly
Love is the living dream
Callin' your name
Tellin' you somethin' 'cause you
CHORUS
Ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
Ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
You can conquer the world but it's never enough
Because you ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
You can carry the flame across the finish line
You can sign your name in the sands of time
But fortune and fame, they're just things that ya leave behind
Well you think you got the world in the palm of your hand
But there's one thing missin' in your promised land
It's a thing called love, the one thing that your heart demands
Oh love is the rhythm of life
In your soul is where the secret lies
When love is lookin' through your eyes
Every feelin' inside
Is tellin' you somethin'
CHORUS
You can chase your dreams down the yellow brick road
Sail full steam down the river of gold
If you ever get it all ya never get enough
'Cause you ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
Oh love is the precious thing
Set you free and give your heart the wings, to fly
Callin' your name, ooh
