If there's one great thing   To happen in my life   If there's one great day   If there's one great height   Let it be the time for peace   Let it be the time of right   If there's one great thing   To happen in my life      I've seen to much of what fighting has done   I've seen too much anger   I've seen it far too young   And talk will come to nothing   While the shouting still goes on      But we are only singers    And too many songs are sung      I've seen the way of martyrs   I've seen the way of kings   I've seen the hope that love can bring      I only hope what pleases me   Will also pleasure you    For mine can never be the hands   That make a dream come true
