One Simple Thing Lyrics

As if this world had only just begun
We'd give back all the things we have but one
Only one...
Chorus:
One simple thing
Kept between you and me
Will build a wall
No one else can see
One simple thing
Is all we really need
To make it all complete

Here -- within this changing place
We run the longest race
Keeping the better pace
Here -- we manufacture dreams
Even the greatest need
Is satisfied with ease

(Chorus)

Here -- within this changing mind
Where anything untried
Is never far behind
Here -- within this open heart
Life begins to spark
And this is where you are

(Chorus)

[Instrumental break]

(Chorus repeat and fade)
