“You Are the One” is an intimate and haunting ballad. Written in a 6/8 time and in a minor key, this song takes you on a cosmic journey… inside of yourself. Starting out sparse, "You Are the One" grows into a crescendo of beauty as a fluid lead guitar weaves in and out with an atmospheric grand piano and other instrumentation. All the while, Jessica Leia sings heart felt lyrics about the continued search for communion with the Divine.
lyrics
VERSE 1
Magical, magical game we play. Give me sight so my vision is clear.
Whirling and spiraling as I sway, opening up, enter here.
VERSE 2
Like a fantasy’s ever elusive touch, you’re a whisper I harken to hear.
And a riddle that only will say so much, ‘til I’ve donned what is left of my fear
CHORUS
And you are there when I’m closing my eyes. There, when I’m living my lies.
And you are the place I must go, for you are the one that I know.
VERSE 3
Already given to only you, how can my heart understand?
While seeking the freedom of only truth, I am held by illusions of man.
CHORUS
And you are there when I’m closing my eyes. There, when I’m living my lies.
And you are the place I must go, for you are the one that I know.
VERSE 4
Magical, magical game we play. Give me sight so my vision is clear.
Whirling and spiraling as I sway, opening up, enter here.
