The Only One Lyrics by Gavin Creel

Walk On Through: Confessions of a Museum Novice

0

The end is nigh
The world is heavy
As I'm calling out it's falling foul I fear
I try to write
To hold it steady
But I lose my way as they keep drawing near
Their war is on
And their evil's raging
And my only weapon is my father's pen
So I write
Without engaging
Cause I won't let them light the fuse in me again
Story after story
And page after page
I'll write about our glory to kill the rage
This is what it is when you live for love
This is what you do when you die for the life you're dreaming of
This is who I'll be 'til the world is done
But am I the only one?
To stop the blame
And start believing
That we can cultivate a beauty in the light
To will set us free
And end the grieving
For a world that can make peace without a fight
I need to write
A new beginning
I need to tell the tale of enemy as friend
That someone will read
And feel we're winning
Cause if I don't I don't know how this thing will end
Letter after letter
And word after word
I'm sending out my signal like a bird
This is what it is when you live for love
This is what you do when you die for the life you're dreaming of
This is who I'll be 'til the world is done
But am I the only one?
To want the beautiful and bright
A world of healing, hope, and light
A place where people live in quiet pride
I knew this story as a boy
My brother's friend, my father's joy
Now with them gone, there's just a great divide
Between what was and what will be
The darkness grows inside of me
I hear it saying 'boy, you don't belong'
So now, my friends, I look to you
To tell me what I'm meant to do
Could it be we were wrong?
Is this all there is
Do we live for love?
Is this what we do
'Til we die for the life we're dreaming of?
Am I just a fool and the world is done?
I can't be the only one
This is what it is to live for love
This is what you do when you'd die for the life we're dreaming of
This is who I am, and I've just begun
And if I'm the only one
Then I'm the only one
I'm not the only one
