The Only Thing

from A Light To Follow by Emily Maguire

lyrics

We were lost in a dream
Even though we'd not been sleeping
We were running on empty
Even saints have their demons
And those dangerous dark feelings
We all hide so desperately

And I've been blind
But now I can see this time
The only thing we've got
Is the love we gave
And the hope we'll be free someday

Like a lock with a key
It was all we ever needed
Feeling safe meant constancy
But the world is all changing
And our plans we rearrange them
Trying to find security

And I've been blind
But now I can see this time
The only thing we've got
Is the love we gave
And the hope we'll be free someday
Hope we will meet again
Hope we'll be free someday
