Love One by Common Market
Love One lyrics
And if you got one, love one�
You�re lucky just to have just one�
One mother, one sister, one daughter, one wife
Once lost in the darkness; blessed by sunlight
Once blind to the bounties of livin� � Lord, surround
me with four women
To symbolize life; I�m born twice
For forty days and nights weathered the storm�s tug
My mother�s fear of the water taught me how to swim
above
I fought waves as she prayed and never gave up
Her faith saved me, and I just wanna say �thank you for
your love��
My memories of childhood are like dreams
I�m a drifter � thinkin� of my sister�s like scenes
Of a movie; me screamin� �you�re not my mom,� set to
swing
You holdin� me yellin� to me �I�m the next best thing�
Six years of separation�s damn near a generation
But you never stopped trying to understand my
motivation
And you always had my back when push came to shove
We�re the same blood, through the rain�s floods �
�thank you for your love�
I�ve said it before, I�ll say it to my death
I will never fully comprehend just why God left you
In my hands, when I could hardly stand, I guess
It was significant that you and I would take our first
steps
In stride � me as a follower, you as a guide
Revealer of the way as you explain I play the scribe
Leader of the tribe � reason that Abeo came alive
My name, my pride, I take time to �thank you for your
love�
Who would have ever thought we�d come this far?
Two renegades who finally made their way to the stars
Built a bridge over the river of doubt and made �sound�
The foundation on which we would build this house
And aint that what matrimony�s about; a shared vision?
We draw on the strengths of intellect and intuition
You�re the symbolism of liberated women, the definition
of
What a companion does � �thank you for your love�
Thank you all for your support in my times of need
Your belief in me empowers me to lead
And they wonder how I stand this firm to transgressions
Y�all taught to me the lessons every man must learn
Mother showed me how to fold my hands and thank God
Through my sister�s eyes � compromise was not hard
My daughter teaches me honesty and honestly
My wife teaches love for my mother, now my cipher�s
complete
(That�s one love�)
One mother, one sister, one daughter, one wife
Once lost in the darkness; blessed by sunlight
Once blind to the bounties of livin� � Lord, surround
me with four women
To symbolize life; I�m born twice
And lucky enough to have known a love like this
My dedication � the inspiration to write this
We�re consolidatin� the family ties � we�re drawn tight
Knowin� things are gonna be alright�
