The only thing


One thing, beyond compare, 

In our hearts, everywhere.

In our lungs, before our eyes, 

throughout the land, throughout the skies.

In the oceans so deep and blue, 

it has no color, it has no hue.

This thing is a priority, 

For you and for me. 

You will believe me when I tell you. 

Hold your breath, it is true.

Feel this thing inside of you.

OXYGEN.
