As if this world had only just begun...   We'd give back all the things we have but one...   Only one...      One simple thing kept between you and me   Will build a wall no one else can see   One simple thing is all we really need   To make it all complete      Here -- within this changing place   We run the longest race   Keeping the better pace   Here -- we manufacture dreams   Even the greatest needs   Are satisfied with ease      One simple thing kept between you and me   Will build a wall no one else can see   One simple thing is all we really need   To make it all complete         Here -- within this changing mind   Where anything untried    Is never far behind   Here -- within this open heart   Life begins to spark   And this is where you are       One simple thing kept between you and me   Will build a wall no one else can see   One simple thing is all we really need   To make it all complete
