One And Many

We live in the same house, on different floors
I got my window. and you got yours
We've each got a door that leads to the hall
But the rooms are so cozy and the door is so small

One FLAME; many candles
One SKY; many stars
One SEA; many rivers
One LOVE...so many hearts

So mostly we sit by our windows and stare
And sometimes we wonder what's happening out there?
"Is there something we're missing, something I ought to see?
"Something bigger than life? Something bigger than me?

One FLAME; many candles
One SKY; many stars
One SEA; many rivers
One LOVE...so many hearts

(interlude)

I'm reading a book I found on the shelf
A mystery that i've written myself
I'm in the last chapter; not sure what's in store
But i'm betting it ends with a knock on the door.

One FLAME; many candles
One SKY; many stars
One SEA; many rivers
One LOVE and so many hearts
