Lyrics
I?LL BE THE ONE C. 2000 SALLY FINGERETT
Here in this land I am home I?m not alone, not alone
I?m just one of many who belong I?m not alone, I?m not alone
For so many years I have dreamed of this day
When I?m put to the test, I am asked to stand and take my place.
I?m asked to be?..
Strong like a soldier
To always remember
And carry the truth on my shoulders
And be a faithful protector of this light that?s shining?.?.
CHORUS;
I?ll be the one, to carry on, to carry on
Mighty and faithful and strong
I?ll be the one, to carry on, to carry on.
Here in this dessert I will stand I?m not alone, not alone
My soul now belongs to this land - my future is here, in every grain of sand
History tells us that there?d be a day
When we?re put to the test, we are asked to stand and take our place
We?re asked to be?
Strong like a soldier
To always remember
And carry the truth on our shoulders
And be the faithful protector of this light that?s shining.
CHORUS:
I?ll be the one, to carry on to carry on
For thousands of years I?ve been strong,
I?ll be the one, to carry on, to carry on
(Instrumental break)
I see these mountains and oceans,
I hear of past generations.
I have my own destination
It is I who?ve been chosen
I?ll be the one, to carry on, to carry on
I dedicate a promise to go on, I?ll be the one?
In this world in this life it is me - this eternal light
In this world in this life it is me - this eternal light (over ?I?ll be the one?)
