Analysis of One
E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)
The strength of one
Alone from the start
Lacking a lover
But not lacking heart
Strength from betrayal
Strength from deceit
Strong is the one
That's felt real defeat
From down in the gutter
One becomes free
Free from the love
The world denies me
But freedom is power
And love is around
As one you are strong
In control & unbound
