A guy in town was making a movie. He let it be known he wanted to use songs from local bands on the soundtrack. So my band told me to write a song to submit.
And no...he didn't go for our tune. But I ended up with a song out of the deal, so it wasn't a total loss.
A single spark will start a fire
A single day begins a lifetime
A single step begins the journey home
A single word begins the tale
Full of danger, hope and heartache
And the loss of everything I've ever known
But a single quiet moment leads to peace at heart
And in the silence I can hear what to do
And a single thread of destiny will play its part
As the gentle path of love that leads to you
All the words could never tell the things that I have longed for
A thousand hopes and dreams cast aside
And all the prophets couldn't tell in a hundred million lifetimes
How you touched the part of me I tried to hide
But a single quiet moment leads to peace at heart
And in the silence I can hear just what to do
And a single thread of destiny will play its part
As the gentle path of love that leads to you
Can we reach beyond the dark
Can we touch a new beginning
Can I hold your beating heart
In synchrony with mine
In the words we left unsaid
In the pathways still connected...
Our desires are met
Our souls connect
And I know that we will find
That a single quiet moment leads to peace at heart
In the silence I can hear just what to do
And a single thread of destiny will play its part
As the gentle path of love that leads to you...
As the gentle path of love that leads to you
