One Great Thing Lyrics - The Seer - Big Country

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

If there's one great day, if there's one great height 

Let it be the time for peace, let it be the time of right 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

I've seen too much of what fighting has done 

I've seen too much anger and I've seen it far too young 

And talk will come to nothing 

While the shouting still goes on 

But we are only singers 

And too many songs are sung 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

If there's one great day, if there's one great height 

Let it be the time for peace, let it be the time of right 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

I've seen the way of martyrs and I've seen the way of kings 

I've seen the hope that love can bring 

I only hope what pleases me will also pleasure you 

For mine can never be the hands that make a dream come true 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

If there's one great day, if there's one great height 

Let it be the time for peace, let it be the time of right 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

I've seen too much of what fighting has done 

I've seen too much anger and I've seen it far too young 

I've seen the way of martyrs and I've seen the way of kings 

I've seen the hope that love can bring 

I only hope what pleases me will also pleasure you 

For mine can never be the hands that make a dream come true 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

If there's one great day, if there's one great height 

Let it be the time for peace, let it be the time of right 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

If there's one great day, if there's one great height 

Let it be the time for peace, let it be the time of right 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life 

If there's one great day, if there's one great height 

Let it be the time for peace, let it be the time of right 

If there's one great thing 

To happen in my life
