a song for you.

We are one
Simmons
[Intro: Riff 1a]
[Riff 1a]
You are not alone
But how long can you run
It¥smuch to late if you don¥t lnow
What you¥ve got ¥til it¥s gone
Once upon a time you were a child
But that was yesterday
Believed that magic in your heart
Would never fade away
But, hold your head up high
And let your spirits fly
Keep hope alive yes deep inside
And your dreams will never die
[Riff 1b and Riff 2]
We are one, everywhere I go
Everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one, everything I know
What I know is true
Everyone of us lives inside of you
We are one
We are one
[Riff 1a and Riff 3]
Take a breath, and close your eyes
You¥re on the road again
And then you realise they brought you
Back to life again
Some things never change
But if you fantasize
You¥ll feel it deep inside yourself
And then you¥ll realise
When you feel it coming
When you hear the sound
You¥ll always laugh when you mant to cry
And then you¥ll feel it deep inside
[Riff 1b and Riff 2]
We are one, everywhere I go
Everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one, everything I know
What I know is true
Everyone of us lives inside of you
We are one
We are one
[Riff 4]
You are me, I am you
What you see is all true
You are me, I am you
What you see is all true
You are me, I am you
What you see is all true
[Riff 1b, Riff 2 and Riff 3]
We are one
We are one
[Riff 5]
[Riff 6a and Riff 6b]
