You're The One

(альбом: Spirits Colliding - 1995)

This old world is pretty crazy
People hurting everywhere
Cities dying, leaders lying
Demons dancing in the air

Once I thought I knew the answer
To the sorrow on this earth
One day judge and one day jury

But the more I see the beauty
Turn to hatred and to fear
There's just one thing that I'm sure of

You're the one I love
You're the one I love
Sure as stars above
You're the one I love

Turn my paper, flick my TV
See my saviours all around
Some say this way, then it's that way
'Till I'm crazy with their sound

Then I look at our two children
See the magic in their eyes
And I wonder what's before them

They say that each new generation
Holds the secret to their time
Will they heed this age old story?

You're the one I love
You're the one I love
Sure as stars above
You're the one I love

Mogadishu, Sarajevo
Kampuchea, Palestine
Belfast city, L.A. war zone
Children screaming, men in line
Could I really turn to kill you
'Cos your eyes are not quite blue
Watch your daughter beg for mercy?

Could I fool myself forever
That a habit is a truth
Does it matter if I tell you

That you're the one I love?
You're the one I love
Sure as stars above
You're the one I love

Take me on home, I want to go home
Take me on home, I want to go home
