To Be the One
Discovering Self-Redemption: To Be the One's Journey
Lyrics
It happens so easy, in the wink of an eye
Change can happen swiftly and effortlessly.
The moment you cut the cable
When you disconnect from something (or someone), the world moves on without you.
The rest of the world goes drifting by
Others continue with their lives, leaving you feeling abandoned.
Leaving you high and dry
You're left alone and without support.
Your love was there waiting to slip me the key
Your love or support was available but unnoticed by me.
It's just that behind my curtain
My perspective or emotional barriers prevented me from recognizing your love.
Your love wasn't getting through to me
Your affection wasn't reaching me because of my emotional barriers.
And setting my spirit free
Realizing and embracing your love would liberate my spirit.
What started me thinking of changing the plan,
I started contemplating changing my course of action or mindset.
What took me so long to find out
It took me a long time to realize that you accept me as I am.
That you only want me as I am?
The absence of communication between us allowed misunderstandings to persist.
See how the silence sends it on down to you
The silence between us transmits my thoughts and feelings to you.
Now all you need is to believe it's true
Believing in the message being transmitted is all you need.
This lesson is over, this message got through
The lesson has been learned, and the intended message has been understood.
I'm turning the corner
I'm making a significant change in my life.
You know that I'm coming back to you
I'm returning to you, acknowledging my mistakes.
To be the one I can be
Striving to become the best version of myself for you.
I know you told me but I had to find it out for myself
I needed personal experience to truly understand your advice.
Oh sweet baby I cried
Expressing emotional pain for hurting you.
And when I saw the way I hurt you
Witnessing the pain I caused you made me realize the impact of my actions.
Saw the tears in your eyes
Seeing your tears made me recognize the depth of your hurt.
But now it's different 'cause I'm learning from my past mistakes
I'm evolving and learning from my past errors.
And I never make the same one twice
Committing to not repeat the same mistakes.
Listen to me when I tell you this is no disguise
Assuring that what I'm saying is sincere and not a pretense.
See how etc
See lines 12 and 13 for the recurring message's significance.
This lesson etc
Reinforcing that the lesson has been learned and understood.
