Lyrics
I heard Your song coming over the hill
I knew it seemed like the world stood still
You were singin a melody that caught me by surprise
Yeah it sounded familiar to me, like I’d known it all my life
And I keep looking down as I move in closer
My heart is racing now with fear and wonder
Could I come back to You
so long on my own
From where I am, I know this is not my home
Chorus
(‘Cause) You’re the one
I believe
A king, and friend has always been holding onto me
You’re the one that I have seen
Your life and death the endless breath breathing into me
Just the mention of Your name
and I know, I know I’ve found love
‘Cause You’re the one
High in a hidden world is where You are found
Where every living thing circles around
I find myself again where I used to be
With the rescued ones falling on my knees
Chorus
(‘Cause) You’re the one I believe
A king, and friend has always been holding onto me
You’re the one that I have seen
Your life and death the endless breath breathing into me
Just the mention of Your name and I know, I know I’ve found love
‘Cause You’re the one
In Your presense there is mercy
In the fear,
joy and the tears
It’s Your goodness that keeps on, keeps on calling us here
Drawing us near
Chorus
(‘Cause) You’re the one I believe
A king, and friend has always been holding onto me
You’re the one that I have seen
Your life and death the endless breath breathing into me
Just the mention of Your name and I know, I know I’ve found love
‘Cause You’re the one

Chris on being a part of this soundtrack:
This is the most relevant story of the world – it’s the story of all of us, of all mankind. That there is a place, a home that we all belong to, and all of us were created for it, and somewhere along the way we have taken off our own roads, and made decisions that have led us away, and believed lies and it has led us away from this place that we belong. There is someone that will make a way back for us, a hero that will save the day.
I think the song is pretty much there, finally. I sit at a piece of paper forever, and I’ve probably scribbled through so many different ideas – I’ve probably written five pages of lyrics to try to find exactly what I was trying to say. The song is called, “You’re the One” and it’s written from Edmund’s point of view – his wandering away and wondering if he can ever come back. I love this idea – that he knows in his heart that there’s more that he’s missing, and he’s wondering if he can get back to where everybody else is. They’ve found Aslan, and they know he’s the one, and Edmund also knows he’s the one, but he’s scared because he’s living as a slave. The idea is that he knows he’s the one and he’s calling out to the one who’s going to save him. The first verse, I’m very excited about, “I heard your song coming over a hill/ and know it seemed like the world stood still/ and you were singing and melody that caught me by surprise/ and it sounded familiar to me like I’ve heard it all my life.” It’s this idea that I know there’s something in me, I’ve heard this all my life, I’m hearing it for the first time but I think I’ve known it all my life, that there’s a place I’m going to and you’re the one I’m going to.
