One Thing

I appreciate Robbie’s knack for almost offering solace and hope amid the uncertainties we all face. :)

Production note – the “cello” sound was from Dan’s guitar synth pedal. Thanks, Dan!

One Thing
Take a moment, look ahead
In your life and see your finest plan.
It can be hard to think about what lies ahead
Without some shadow of a doubt.
Unseen commitments will rise
Decisions made along the way
Casting shadows in our eyes.

But there’s one thing
I forgot to mention.
Just a small thing,
Could be nothing,
Could mean everything.

It’s hard to put into a word
Or even a phrase,
But look into your heart
When you see a soul in pain.
What spoken word can express
That feeling in your chest?
And all the rest.

Remember that one thing
I forgot to tell you?
It was just a small thing,
Could be nothing,
Could be everything.

Let your heart and your mind
Make the decision at the time
And meanwhile,
What will save you?
What will give you hope?
What will get you through the night?

There’s that one thing,
The thing I didn’t tell you.
It was just a small thing.
It might be nothing.
It might be everything.
