If there's one great thing
To happen in my life
If there's one great day
If there's one great height
Let it be the time for peace
Let it be the time of right
If there's one great thing
To happen in my life
I've seen to much of what fighting has done
I've seen too much anger
I've seen it far too young
And talk will come to nothing
While the shouting still goes on
But we are only singers
And too many songs are sung
I've seen the way of martyrs
I've seen the way of kings
I've seen the hope that love can bring
I only hope what pleases me
Will also pleasure you
For mine can never be the hands
That make a dream come true
