If I could have one desire
Before my life is through
Even in my darkest night
My light would shine for You
If I could stop the hands of time
Or make a wish come true
I would tell my heart to burn with fire
For no one else but You
This is my one desire
You are my saving grace
One that I lean on
And in the world that's turned upside down
I want You to know
If I could have one desire
Before my life is through
Even in my darkest night
My light would shine for You
If I could stop the hands of time
Or make a wish come true
I would tell my heart to burn with fire
For no one else but You
This is my one desire
This is my one desire
