One in a Million

I saw you that night
Sitting alone on a table
Beneath the pavilion
Beneath the sky

And it came to me then
How you're one in a million
A million children
Who have to say goodbye

You had to say goodbye
to the life you'd once had
You had to say goodbye
To ignorance of the bad
And that night I only wish
I'd had the courage to say
Yes
You're one in a million
Who've chosen this way

I rolled down the window
And asked you a question
Did you need a ride home?
Did you want to be alone?

And you said you were thinking
So I went on my way
Thinking of the millions
Who were kneeling to pray

I feel drawn to pray
That your heart will be filled
I hope as I pray
That your storm will be stilled
And years past I only wish
I had the wisdom to know
Yes
You're one in a million
This will always be so

I sit here tonight
Writing words in the half-light
A quarter past midnight
I can't see the moon

And I'm weeping within
Yes, you're one in a million
So my heart breaks in hope
That we'll realize that soon
