Lyrics

"When There Is One"
Capers Simmons

VERSE I
Kingdoms, empires, armies on the ground:
They seem so strong, like it won't be long
Before they're gonna wear you down.
But one boy, or one girl, with a heart that can't be moved
Can stand that tide, won't be denied,
Imagine what could happen with two.

CHORUS I
When there is one, there is an army.
When there are two, you're on your way.
When there are three or forty thousand more the world can't help but change.
When they are gone, and the empire's empty,
If it's only you and I alone,
We can win the fight; there's an army at your side
When there is one.

VERSE II
Treadmills with dollar bills hanging just out of reach on a line.
In a world this cold you could sell your soul,
But the one thing you can't own is time:
Moments promised to the ones in greatest need
And the difference made no one can take
From the hands that have received.

~ CHORUS I ~

CHORUS II
When there is one there is a reason,
A reason to reach up for the sky.
When there is hope there's trust, and the best in us is brought into the light.
When we are gone from the land of the living,
And all that we leave are the deeds we've done,
We will have changed the world with the love that we have shared.
When there is one.

~ CHORUS I ~
