Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and some days I feel like crying
but everyday is just a little further up the road
and every day is so much closer to you yeah
CHORUS
you are the one who saved me
you are the one who carried me home
the one
today I make this promise im coming back to you
today im starting over
now this time I will remember
you'll always be with me now my time is forever with you
CHORUS
cos you are the reason why I live
I cant deny what you're doing to me
now I know why you catch me when I break my fall
so why do I hold the fear of letting go
The lyrics of Alabaster Box's song "You Are The One" showcase the internal conflict of the singer, who some days feels like flying away from their problems while on some other days they feel like crying. The singer acknowledges that every day is a step forward towards getting closer to their faith, and they feel that it's their faith that has saved, carried them home, and loved them. In the chorus, the singer repeats that their faith is the reason for their salvation and by entrusting themselves to it, they can always find their way back home.
The second verse of the song talks about starting over and making promises to return to their faith. The singer acknowledges that it's hard to maintain faith and remembers that their faith will always be with them at all times. The chorus reiterates that their faith is the reason for their life and cannot be denied. The song ends with the singer wondering why they still hold on to their fears even when their faith is always there to catch them.
The lyrics of the song highlight the theme of internal conflict and the importance of faith in overcoming those conflicts. The song also emphasizes that faith is not just an abstract concept, but it's present in our everyday lives and helps guide and direct us towards a better path.

God led me to hear this song seven years ago when my son was sick. He was 2 years old back then & he had very high fever that wasn't coming down with medication. When this song started playing I felt the presence of angels in my son's room and I heard a voice saying to me : the battle is over. Immediately the fever started coming down and my son was healed. I kept the song playing over and over again, the whole night, and i kept feeling the presence of Angels in the room. This song reminds me of that miracle, of the divine presence that I have experienced.. it's so anointed...
