Here I am
In a river of questions
Can I pour my heart out to a listening ear?
I see this life
Its valleys and mountains
And I think of all the roads that brought me here
I’ve questioned my reasons
The life I’m living
I’ve questioned my ability
To judge wrong from right
I’ve questioned all the things that I’ve ever called certain
My race, my religion, my country, my mind
But the one thing I don’t question is you
You really love me like you say you do
You really love me like you say you do
Hold me
Hold me
I’ve questioned significance
Meaning and relevance
Does the work I’m doing really matter at all?
Well I’ve questioned my friendships
Alliance, dependence
Who will still be here when I fall?
Only one thing doesn’t change
Only one thing stays the same
All I know at the end of the day is your love remains

Behind the Song:"When I started writing the songs for Let It Go, I had decided to start my life again as best as I could from scratch. I wanted God to re-start my thinking, my relationships, my securities, and my motivations. This quest ushered in the big questions like, “What are the unshakable bottom lines in my life?” These questions are captured in “The One Thing.”
At the base of my insecurity, I knew that I was loved by the Creator of the universe. His love is the foundation of all things. On a different level, the song is also a love song to my wife, as I also know that she loves me unconditionally." -
