lyrics

THE ONE YOU ARE Richard Russell © 1996

First of all, I'd like to take this chance
To welcome you all to this circumstance
Let's chase the promise to its end
Though you never know where it may send you
Your good spirits in these rooms
Fills us all and none too soon
And if it's ever in our way
Then we'll know that's not it anyway

In this lifetime, in this light
In this life – shine like the sun
You are free, or can be
You are the one

It's what we share, it's what we're of
It's where we meet, it's what we love
It's in the air, it's in our blood
Humans care, you are the one

Life goes by like the music
Though somehow more completely
And it seems sometimes all we can do
To play along even half as sweetly
So when it all starts to get to you
Remember what we knew
A glass half empty is half full too
If we can find our way in gratitude

If you're like me, you'd like to see
All the world discover peace
But though I know I may not see it
I do believe that we can seed it
In human form, we're shining light
Look around you here tonight
Thanks for now and for the future
May we keep each other bright
