Lyrics

One Great Thing

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If there's one great thing to happen in my life

If there's one great day, if there's one great height

Let it be the time of peace

Let it be the time of right

If there's one great thing to happen in my life

I've seen too much of what fighting has done

I've seen too much anger and I've seen it far too young

And talk of much of nothing while the shouting still goes on

But we are only singers until better songs are sung

If there's one great thing to happen in my life

If there's one great day, if there's one great height

Let it be the time of peace

Let it be the time of right

If there's one great thing to happen in my life

I've seen the way of prophets and I've seen the way of kings

I've seen the hope that love can bring

I only hope what pleases me will also pleasure you

For might can never be the hands that make a dream come true

If there's one great thing to happen in my life

If there's one great day, if there's one great height

Let it be the time of peace

Let it be the time of right

If there's one great thing to happen in my life

I've seen too much of what fighting has done

I've see too much anger and I've seen it far too young

I've seen the way of prophets and I've seen the way of kings

I've seen the hope that love can bring

I only hope what pleases me will also pleasure you

For might can never be the hands that make a dream come true

If there's one great thing to happen in my life

If there's one great day, if there's one great height

Let it be the time of peace

Let it be the time of right

If there's one great thing to happen in my life.....
