The One - Lucky Dube

It started like a joke

I never thought it would come to this

Today I’m walking in the bushes, like a criminal

Today I’m walking so slow, like a predator

Just to get a glimpse of you

As you play in the play ground

Your mother spoke to the lawyers

Told them I was not good around you

The lawyers spoke to the judges

Told the I was not good around you

The judges gave your mother a letter

That is keeping me away from you

Don’t worry, you are never far from me

Inside my heart, I keep a little box

It is the box of memories I created about you

You are the one, you are the one

Whenever I miss you bad

I walk around the park

Looking at little boys and girls

They remind me of you

There’s a lot of stories I’d like to share with you

There’s a lot of games, I’d like to play with you

Tears come down my face

When I think about what happened

The lawyer spoke to the judges

Told them I was not good around you

The judges gave your mother a letter

That is keeping me away from you

Don’t worry, you are never far from me

Inside my heart I keep a little box

It is a box of memories I created about you

YOU ARE THE ONE, YOU ARE THE ONE

Till fade
