Earth, Wind & Fire - The One lyrics

They expect for you to make their dreams come true Just keep doin' what you do Don't let them change you Just stay honest and true Cause if they knew what you knew It's so hard to be the one, the one, the one, the one Many have tried it But you are that walking testimony That makes me believe To trust not in what I hear And re-think all I've seen That was the first time I opened my eyes, baby (The first time I just opened my eyes) I've seen to fallen (I've seen to fallen) I know cause I give so much more than what they expect of me Is it fear that your opponent Could very well be me And you will be second now Ain't it hard to stay on top They expect for you to make their dreams come true Just keep doin' what you do Don't let them change you Just stay honest and true Cause if they knew what you knew It's so hard to be the one, the one, the one, the one Searchin', you found it, you climbed it But was that mountain everything you thought it would be No matter how far you go girl You'll come right back to me Ain't life funny, baby Well, believe it (just keep believin' it) And achieve it (just keep achievin' it) Keep on dreamin' Look at everything with innocence just like a child Keep your head up, don't let no one make you frown Gotta keep smiling baby (keep on risin' to the top) They expect for you to make their dreams come true Just keep doin' what you do Don't let them change you Just stay honest and true Cause if they knew what you knew It's so hard to be the one, the one, the one, the one
