One

The Life I've changed is that of ONE
Yet many lives remain undone
ONE seed I plant on present plain
That future tears shall surely wane 

Scarlett thread spun strong yet sheer
A world away from there to here
Innocent life clad in jade
No better cull could I have made

ONE fire kindled on dampened soil
Spite many sparks light be foiled
Present darkness overcome
Rising flame of that of ONE
