One - Esperanza Spalding

I’m not lacking in love

Not haunted by its pain

Of romance, life’s given me enough

I can’t complain

But now in this quiet midnight mind

I faintly see

The one so strong

It stops the world and my heart’s spinning

One to prove what I’ve always known

But couldn’t see when he crossed my sky

From a star, fell out, shot across my mind

In the fiery pull of bodies floating along, hot

Gravity does burn inside me

I would orbit all who invite me

Oh, then again

There could be one so strong

It stops the world and my heart’s spinning

One to prove what I’ve always known

But couldn’t see this modern mind

Won’t deny the times that it can’t defy

When a primal urge just calls me down to the shore, hot

Devolution burns inside me

I would dive in all who delight me

Oh, then again

There could be one so strong

It stops the world and my heart’s spinning

One to prove what I’ve always known

But couldn’t meet

The one so strong

It stops the world and my heart’s spinning

One to prove what I’ve always known

But couldn’t meet
