We Are ONE


Who are they to say I can't? Who are they to say that if I fell i won't get up and run?

Did those who didn't believe in me do it for the fun? I ask myself, will they ever put down that gun?

I feel like a balloon surrounded by blades, as the sun goes down my soul slowly fades

Hoping tommorrow would be a better day, holding on to love wishing it would stay

Sleepless nights where I would pray because sometimes I would feel I was slipping away

Day by day, I was swimming in the ocean of my own tears, not wanting to let go of the years

The years by your side, oh love of mine, when was it that you let go?

I use to fly high now I'm lower than low

I want to smile but when it seems to last it fades for a while

Lost in a world where love is hate and real is fake

Where humans are being tortured and being baked

I want to open my eyes and see the King, the one who will give me everything

When I dragged myself home in foolish clothes, he cleansed me pure, he was my cure

My heart and soul cries out for one, The King of Kings who won't take long

May you be saved and you be strong, and be taken to the Kingdom where we all belong.
