Be the One Lyrics by Yes

Keys to Ascension

1996

[I. The One 00:00-04:11]

[Verse 1]
Never underestimate the loving
How we intertwine our very soul
How we fill each other's spaces to lose control
When you're talking, be the children
Who stand on solid ground
Never underestimate the giving that will bring you around

[Bridge]
I'll be there, to bring you this love in the morning
I'll be there, to bring you the stars at night
I'll be there, just waiting to hear you singing
Ahhh-ahhh-ahhhh-ahhh

[Verse 2]
Never underestimate a giver
The gift of love will surely be
When you're asking for the secrets to set you free
When you're talking to the friendship
That love of higher self
This gift of love is the answer to all your doubts

[Chorus]
Be the one (Be the one, be the one) giving in to love
Never let the good in life desert you
(Be the one) Be the one (Be the one, be the one) giving in to love
Never let the fools destroy your dreams
Be the one (Be the one, be the one) giving in to love
I can dream myself every minute
So how did we become, masters of limitation?

[Bridge]
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
To make it right for you
Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh

[Chorus]
Giving in (Giving in) giving in to love
It's the balance of this everyday feeling
Giving in (Giving in) Giving in giving in to love
Without love our dreams become illusion
Giving in (Giving in) Giving in to the right love
I can hear you singing every minute
So you can sing the song, and see the truth

[II. Humankind 04:11-07:19]

[Verse 3]
So we worked all around amidst the glory of life
Any fire of the flame would be made
Should the famine of change to disguise everyone
Who cannot see the soul of truth ready made
But all because we're changing now
As the prophets of doom speak their mind
It's a long, long way from where mankind began
It's a long, long way humankind

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
So we dance down on nature as we try to repeat
All our efforts as one sent today
Taking back instead of giving, taking back more or less
Taking back a sense of being afraid
So all this necessary changes now, as the will to help all man
And the children of the crucified will better off, better dead

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
But all this senseless killing, and all these chains and lies
I want to know right now, I want to know right now
I want to know where we come from
For it's a long, long way from where the system began
It's a long, long way humankind
It's a long, long way from where the system began
It's a long, long way humankind, yeah

[Chorus]
Giving in (Giving in) Giving in to love
I can see and feel the truth every minute
Giving in, (Giving in) giving in to love
Be the one to rescue you, rescue you
Giving in, (Giving in) Giving in to the right love
There's no way that you can live without it
So we can become, masters of our invention

[III. Skates 07:19-09:50]

[Instrumental Break & Guitar Solo]
Don't stand still
Don't stand still

[Chorus]
Giving in (Giving in) Giving in to love
I can see and feel the truth every minute
Giving in (Giving in) Giving in to real love
To rescue you, rescue you, rescue you
Giving in (Giving in) Giving in to the right love
There's no way that you can live without it
So we can become, masters of our invention

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Never underestimate the power
Never underestimate the power
