Are You The One? is a song that asks questions of the divine. In it, the singer is curious about the way of things – his brittle heart, the brevity of life, the silence of God.
lyrics
Verse 1:
Are you the one up in the clouds?
The one they sing the songs about
Are you the one they call the king?
Are you the one who’ll take my soul?
When I am off this earthly road
Are you the one the angels sing to?
Chorus:
And for what it’s worth
I’ve tried living my best life
I’ve held on to love with all my heart
And when this is over
I hope I’ll come to ya
And ask you these questions myself
Verse 2:
Are you the one who made the grass?
Why did you make my heart like glass?
Each time I fall in love it breaks to pieces
Are you a he, are you a she?
And is your skin so dark like me?
Oh tell me does it even matter?
Chorus:
And for what it’s worth
I’ve tried living my best life
I’ve held on to love with all my heart
And when this is over
I hope I’ll come to ya
And ask you these questions myself
Verse 3:
Why do we live to die?
Do you even see the tears we cry?
Not asking cos I doubt
Just want to know what you’re about
I pray that all of my good deeds are good enough
Chorus:
And for what it’s worth
I’ve tried living my best life
I’ve held on to love with all my heart
And when this is over
I hope I’ll come to ya
And ask you these questions myself
Outro:
Are you the one?
