One
You've taught me that one and one can equal one
And that a whole can be better than two
Selectively unique is that no one can make me feel as
You do
Through me you found the will to see
That nothing in this universe should be
Controlled, conquered or won
That harmony is neither divisible by two nor one
Today with our hearts softly fused
To and by the beat of one drum
Under God's moon, which is also her son
Exist the you plus the me
The way things seemingly are and should always be
