Just One Thing Lyrics - Carole King

Holding it together with barely any motion 

Like so many motes of dust 

My dreams keep stirring in me 

But all I see are 

Rivers of violence 

Running red on the streets below me 

While passionate strangers whisper desire 

All I know is I'm on fire 

I need just one thing I can believe in 

Oh, just one thing 

Just one thing I can believe in

Hiding in the shadows 

I want to stand in the light 

Trust is unknown to me 

I've been betrayed by the night so long 

I can never belong to anyone any more 

Why does everybody think they know me 

I go through the motions, playing my role 

Nobody knows what's deep in my soul 

I need just one thing I can believe in 

Give me just one thing 

Oh, just one thing I can believe in 

Love let me down 

I wanted to believe that love was the one thing 

But every time I turned around, love let me down 

Photos 

In my imagination 

I come out of the darkness 

The moon in my fantasy smiles down on me 

I am a child running wild and free 

But then the fight for survival 

Takes me out of my illusion 

And I'm back in the emptiness, fear and defeat 

Trapped in a rhythm I don't want to repeat 

The taste of freedom is so close and sweet 

I've just gotta find a way off this dead-end street 

I need just one thing I can believe in 

I gotta find one thing 

Just one thing I can believe in 

I need one thing I can believe in 

Let me find one thing 

Gotta find one thing 

Just one thing I can believe in
