Big Country - One Great Thing lyrics

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 to much of what fighting has done I've seen too much anger; 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; 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
