Another song that has been a powerful means to get me to clear my head and listen to my heart has been the song “one”, sung by Faith Hill. This song pretty much talks about much of what I have been feeling over the past few years. Many people would tell me that my trying never amounted to much. I realize that I am a unique individual, someone with very different views on many of life’s questions. Yet even with some of these liberal views, I struggle with the separation. I’ve been struggling every day with what is the right thing to do. How do you choose? I have always tried to follow my heart, even if that meant keeping the one I was with away from me. How do you invite someone into your heart and then keep them away? How do you tell them, “come in”, yet in the next breath ask them, “please don’t touch that yet”?

Maybe solitude will be good for me?

*** One

I tried with all my might
But still don't understand why we ever let it get so out of hand
My arms are reaching out and holding on tight
To what has always felt so right
It's hard to figure out the answers to the questions
When both our lives are going in separate directions

CHORUS:

One is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
And you still don't get it, do you, do you
I thought we had all the love to go it for the long run
So before the damage is done
Let's start back over at one

Lights out when every evening used to get so hot
Now we got so damned distracted we forgot
How to lock the world away and just get lost in where you end and where I begin
Love is strong but it's so easy to divide
So boy let's think about
how much is on the line

One is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
and you still don't get it do you, do you
I thought we had all the love to go it for the long run
so before the damage is done
let's start back over at one

One is breaking into two
My heart is turning blue
And you still dont get it do you, do you
We had all the love to go it for the long run
So before the damage is done let's start back over as

One is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
and you still don't get it do you, do you
I thought we had all the love to go it for the long run
so before the damage is done
let's start back over at one

(Start back over at one)
(Got to get back, got to get back)
One
