One Thing

If my soul had one ambition
I know it would be you.
If I chose one thing to go after
I know it would be you.

But therein lies the problem
of only choosing you
So many things are in my way
of only choosing you.

All the things of this world
stand in front of you
Their opinions, my wants,
stand in front of you.

What would happen if I cast it off
and chased solely after you?
Ignored their thoughts, forgot my wants
and chased solely after you?

I would be in paradise
Living, just me and you
There could be nothing better than
living, just me and you.

But how to quelch those other thoughts
distracting me from you?
Those worries, those cares,
distracting me from you?

I must turn my thoughts instead,
to only praising you.
Dedicated the all of me
to only praising you.

The battle will continue
as I fight to stay with you.
Praise I will forevermore
as I fight to stay with you.
