The One (feat. Phil Keaggy) Lyrics

The One

One a rusty old swing set of my childhood home

I sat for a while

As the memories poured over me wave after wave

Releasing a smile

He never quite understood all he had done

Just by being the one

The one who taught me to throw

And taught me to drive

And taught me there’s more to life

Than being alive

And I’ll never be able

To repay this debit

No matter how old I get

I teach all this to my sons

By being the one

I was there on that fateful day

Then he passed on

The sound of a siren then a hospital door

Then he was gone

I stood in the ER dazed and stunned

To say good-bye to the one

The one who taught me to throw

And taught me to drive

And taught me there’s more to life

Than being alive

And I’ll never be able

To repay this debit

No matter how old I get

I teach all this to my sons

By being the one

All that I am now or will ever become

Is all because of the one

The one who taught me to throw

And taught me to drive

And taught me there’s more to life

Than being alive

And I’ll never be able

To repay this debit

No matter how old I get

I teach all this to my sons

By being the one
