The One de Earth, Wind And Fire

They expect for you to make their dreams come true
Just keep doin' what you do
Don't let them change you
Just stay honest and true
Cause if they knew what you knew
It's so hard to be the one, the one, the one, the one

Many have tried it
But you are that walking testimony
That makes me believe
To trust not in what I hear
And re-think all I've seen

That was the first time I opened my eyes, baby
(The first time I just opened my eyes)
I've seen to fallen
(I've seen to fallen)

I know cause I give so much more than what they expect
of me
Is it fear that your opponent
Could very well be me
And you will be second now
Ain't it hard to stay on top

They expect for you to make their dreams come true
Just keep doin' what you do
Don't let them change you
Just stay honest and true
Cause if they knew what you knew
It's so hard to be the one, the one, the one, the one

Searchin', you found it, you climbed it
But was that mountain everything you thought it would
be
No matter how far you go girl
You'll come right back to me
Ain't life funny, baby

Well, believe it (just keep believin' it)
And achieve it (just keep achievin' it)
Keep on dreamin'
Look at everything with innocence just like a child
Keep your head up, don't let no one make you frown
Gotta keep smiling baby (keep on risin' to the top)

They expect for you to make their dreams come true
Just keep doin' what you do
Don't let them change you
Just stay honest and true
Cause if they knew what you knew
It's so hard to be the one, the one, the one, the one
