0:11When I was young I was told I'd find
0:13One rich man in ten has a satisfied mind
0:16And I'm the one
0:21100 to one says I wouldn't react
0:24But I'm the 1 in 100 who would swing right back
0:27Yes I'm the one
0:33Thousands of steps and staircases to climb
0:35Thousands of men you'd most likely decline
0:38And yet I'm the one
0:4310000 to 1 could I possibly bet
0:46I'm compelled by your love and I haven't lost yet
0:48Clearly you're the one
1:16One in a million don't mean what it meant
1:18And these millions of gold coins don't gleam when they're spent
1:21You're left with none
1:27Ten million dollars could win the whole lot
1:29But if ten million dollars is all that you got
1:32You won't be the one
1:38Hundreds of millions of papers to sign
1:41Hundreds of millions of souls left behind
1:44And yet we're the ones
1:49A billion to one don't the odds make you sick
1:51To be one in a billion's a terrible trick
1:54You're the wretched one
2:21When I was young I was told I'd find
2:24One rich man in ten has a satisfied mind
2:27And I'm the one
When I was young I was told I'd find One rich man in ten has a satisfied mind And I'm the one 100 to one says I wouldn't react But I'm the 1 in 100 who would swing right back Yes I'm the one Thousands of steps and staircases to climb Thousands of men you'd most likely decline And yet I'm the one 10000 to 1 could I possibly bet I'm compelled by your love and I haven't lost yet Clearly you're the one One in a million don't mean what it meant And these millions of gold coins don't gleam when they're spent You're left with none Ten million dollars could win the whole lot But if ten million dollars is all that you got You won't be the one Hundreds of millions of papers to sign Hundreds of millions of souls left behind And yet we're the ones A billion to one don't the odds make you sick To be one in a billion's a terrible trick You're the wretched one When I was young I was told I'd find One rich man in ten has a satisfied mind And I'm the one
