Atlas: One lyrics

Hold on for a minute

'Cause I believe that we can fix this over time

That every imperfection is a lie

Or at least an interruption ...

Now hold on, let me finish

No, I'm not saying perfect exists in this life

But we'll only know for certain if we try

I want to sing a song worth singing

I'll write an anthem worth repeating

I want to feel the transformation

A melody of reformation

But the list goes on forever

Of all the ways I could be better, in my mind

As if I could earn God's favor given time

Or at least "congratulations" ...

Now, I have learned my lesson;

The price of this so-called perfection is everything

I've spent my whole life searching desperately

To find out that grace requires nothing of me

I want to sing a song worth singing

I'll write an anthem worth repeating

I want to feel the transformation

A melody of reformation

I'll hold it all more loosely

And yet somehow much more dearly

'Cause I've spent my whole life searching desperately

To find out that grace requires nothing

Grace requires nothing of me
