One Real Thing Lyrics

Speak, and my heart starts aching
Reach and the numbness dims.
Beat, still my mind's uncertain
Breathe it begins again

CHORUS:
You are the one real thing
You are the one real thing that I know
You are the one real thing
No matter what the future brings,
You are the one real thing

Stay, locked within your presence
Truth, renewing my mind again
Rest, cause I know you're faithful and I
Trust, cause I know your name.

I get on my knees and I feel your love wash over me.

I'm not a Christian anymore, but I still love this song, as well as the rest of the "Alien youth" album... It just had meant so much to me "way" back when.

Yeah, it would be nice to believe there was some god who was so real and so caring in a world that seems to not care much at all.

"Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know."

  • Michel de Montaigne

"Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favour."

  • Robert Frost

Sorry, I'm not trying to bash on Christianity or religion; it's just every now and then I mournfully reflect upon the religion that had meant so much to me, which has turned out to be just as mythological and preposterous as any other.

The best advice I can give to those that don't believe is this... "It's better to believed than to never believed at all."

By not believing you sacrafice any hope of an afterlife and even if there is no God, oh well at least believing in something that didn't exist made you a better person at heart.

When I hear this song I think of the presence of God and that no matter what happens in our lives God will always be the constant and will always be here.

God speaks? And breathes? He's a "real thing"? Hmm...ok...I agree its about god...because i can't think of how love can "wash over you" without some spiritual religious holy light idea... sigh

"I get on my knees and I feel Your love wash over me." I love this line

Or could be about gay sex...

Go to a doctor and tell him that cows ate his hair. That may be enough motivation for him to fix your brain.
