"ONE"

No matter what my size,
I've got this power of voice,
So you can disregard the opinion,
Or absorb the knowledge - your choice,
But its ripe,
Its moist like fresh brownies from the oven,
And since past experiences resonate hate,
I'm comin' with lovin'

They say 'each one, teach one',
So i'm just tryin' to reach
One,
One individual,
One mind,
Give one miracle to one who is blind,
And though i'm bein' lyrical,
Only one is divine,
And all of his creatures
Are part of one sublime design.

There's only one sun,
Energizing each day,
And only one shun,
That stands in the way
Of letting one become,
One who's lost and stray.

I don't have any one purpose,
I'm not here to perform any one service,
But if i know one thing its i am one
Who deserves this,
Not one who is worthless,
And no i can't conquer the whole world's surface,
I am just one,
Still a little nervous.

That's one thing i struggle with when i think what got me here,
One evil so dark,
A terrorist would tremble and tear,
The devil himself would shake with fear.

It was bitterness with lonely ends,
Hopelessness with phony friends,
It was a world so real,
One can never pretend
That it didn't exist,
So i insist to resist that one taste of bliss,
'cuz it extinguishes the sun again,
One circle,
That doesn't end.

But faith is bringing me to one brighter hour,
Belief that i am guided
By one higher power,
Life doesn't have to taste so sour,
There's beauty, wisdom and love to devour,
And i plan to be a man when i find my one flower,
So i keep that up front as i am not one coward...
One minus one is still one - the one i empower.

So I leave what I've begun with just one pun,
We live one life that can't be undone,
We're granted one mind, that's our one gun,
So keep it loaded and cocked,
And you can't be outdone,
You are always a shining one.
