Only one must tell the tale
For those who cannot hear
Weave a story from ash and dust
To escape all that they fear
Only one must stay behind
To create a show
For those who are blind
To represent all that they know
Only one must think to breathe
Breathe to dream
Dream to live
Live to survive
But all must come to see
The masterpiece of life
Unfold before their very eyes
And think and breathe and dream and live
But all must come to hear
The song of creation
Wind its way through the sky
And down into the Earth below.
Beyond all that we see
All that we hear
All that we fear and know
Is life and love and time
Life is a gift
Love is a virtue
Time is immortal
Only one is needed
To change everything, we fear
Everything we see, hear and know
Only one

Only one must tell the tale
For those who cannot hear
Weave a story from ash and dust
To escape all that they fear
Only one must stay behind
To create a show
For those who are blind
To represent all that they know
Only one must think to breathe
Breathe to dream
Dream to live
Live to survive
But all must come to see
The masterpiece of life
Unfold before their very eyes
And think and breathe and dream and live
But all must come to hear
The song of creation
Wind its way through the sky
And down into the Earth below.
Beyond all that we see
All that we hear
All that we fear and know
Is life and love and time
Life is a gift
Love is a virtue
Time is immortal
Only one is needed
To change everything, we fear
Everything we see, hear and know
Only one
