The One True Love Lyrics

Sarah Slean The One True Love

all across the battefield
bells of death and sorrow peeled
but in the air above the silence
there were birds
a song that rose from the earth
a song of mourning,
the yearning
yearning of the one true love.
the world, at last, our only church
we bow to thank the universe
for blessings and distressing revelations
every word,
every whisper you heard,
even the darkness is burning
burning with the one true love
the magic wand of empathy
said I am you and you are me
but somewhere on the way we have forgotten
who we are
and we drifted so far
but now and ever
returning, turning to the one true...
love undoes the mystery
of time before and yet to be
the axle of a wheel that's ever-turning,
is now
as within, so without
feel it in you, the yearning
yearning of the one true love
let us sing a final verse
lovers dance it unrehearsed,
the beating of their hearts is an ovation
for God
this name we give to it all
wherein the names all dissolve
and turn into the one true love.
