Only You

I've been spying out to see if I can find You
I've been adding up to make You come out right
I've been waiting here for You to make an entrance
But it turns out You've been with me all the time

It seems that I've been looking for the wrong things
And getting stuck on what could never be

You don't need another genius or a poet
You don't need another martyr for the truth
You're looking for a heart in step with Your own
And that is something only You can do
Yeah, that is something only You can do

I've been wanting for myself to just stay focused
I've done my best to keep a pure inset
I must have overlooked the rest You promised
I must not have been looking hard enough

We never want the things that come too easy
We cannot trust the freedom found in love

You don't need another genius or a poet
You don't need another martyr for the truth
You're looking for a heart in step with Your own
And that is something only You can do
Yeah, that is something only You can do

Please come and change me
Start rearranging
Until I'm facing
Not myself but You

You don't need another genius or a poet
You don't need another martyr for the truth
You're looking for a heart in step with Your own
And that is something only You can do
Yeah, that is something only You can do

-"Only You", Erin O'Donnell
