ONE Lyrics – Christopher

[Intro]
Carve your name onto my naked chest
Here and now I won’t forget
When we’re gone they will remember us
Sing your heart out and make it count

[Verse 1]
For my people, for my daughters
I planted a seed and you gave it water
For all the days that you stayed right by my side

[Pre-Chorus]

And now I know I’m not alone
You make it grow but above it all
You give me something to believe in

[Chorus]
Carve your name onto my naked chest
Here and now I won’t forget
When we’re gone they will remember us
Sing your heart out and make it count

[Post-Chorus]
Takes a village, takes a home
On a night like this there’s no one man show
Takes a village, takes a home
There’s no one man show

[Verse 2]
For too long I’ve missed my brother
Showing me the meaning of peaceful hours
While I’m moving faster, I’m such a bad actor
I don’t have the answers

[Pre-Chorus]
And that’s when I need you the most
I’m not alone, you make it grow

But above it all
You give me something to believe in

[Chorus]
Carve your name onto my naked chest
Here and now I won’t forget
When we’re gone they will remember us
Sing your heart out and make it count

[Post-Chorus]
Takes a village, takes a home
On a night like this there’s no one man show
Takes a village, takes a home
There’s no one man show

[Bridge]
Keep my love within your hungry heart
Guide me home when we’re worlds apart
Be my light shining in the dark
Sing your heart out and make it count

[Outro]
Takes a village, takes a home
On a night like this there’s no one man show
Takes a village, takes a home
There’s no one man show
