Carole King - Just One Thing lyrics

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 pa**ionate 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 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
