One way
Norman Larry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One way, one way to Heaven
Hold up high your hands
One way, free and forgiven
Children of the Lamb

Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard a wise man say
And I took the one less traveled by

And that's made the difference, every night and every day

So I say one way, one way to Heaven
Hold your heads up high
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the sky

Children of the sky, halelu
Children of the sky
