===[ LYRICS ]===

[Verse 1]
I wasn’t supposed to be there.
Kept my head down, pulled my cloak tight.
The crowd pressed in, their voices loud,
And I told myself, again, to turn back.
But, what if … what if this was my only chance?

[Verse 2]
Twelve years of whispers and waiting,
Of hoping and breaking, fading to nothing.
I heard his name, they said he healed them all,
But I was no one, I was nothing.
Still, my hands wouldn’t listen to my fear.

[Chorus]
One touch, just one touch,
And everything changed in a moment.
One touch, just one touch,
And I knew—I was whole again.

[Verse 3]
The crowd stopped. He turned.
His eyes searched the sea of faces.
"Who touched me?"—his voice steady, sure.
I could’ve run, I should’ve run,
But I was tired of running.

[Chorus]
One touch, just one touch,
And everything changed in a moment.
One touch, just one touch,
And I knew—I was whole again.

[Bridge]
"Daughter…" he called me daughter.
Not "unclean", not "untouchable".
"Daughter…" he saw me, he knew me.
Jehovah’s love—wrapped around me.

[Final Chorus]
One touch, just one touch,
And I will never be the same.
One touch, just one touch,
And I’ll tell the world—he knows my name.

[Outro]
I wasn’t supposed to be there…
But I was.
And he saw me.
And he loved me.

Just One Touch

I’m one of Jehovah’s Witness. I write to think. I’m not a songwriter. I just play with ideas, and I always write for myself. I never intended to write anything for others, let alone songs for people to listen to. 

My musical skills are non existent. I am learning to play the ukulele :). When AI music came out, I saw it as a chance to experiment, but I didn’t plan to share anything with anyone. So I apologise in advance if I get the music genre wrong. I was just having fun. That’s when I got interested in lyric writing, so I started reading books on the subject.

Some of the books I’m reading include “Song Maps” by Simon Hawkins, “On Song Writing” by Aaron Espe, “How To Write One Song” by Jeff Tweedy, “Rhyming” and “Writing Better Lyrics” by Pat Pattison. I’m also subscribed to Keppie Coutts’ newsletter.

I think the music (Suno.ai) does most of the work to make these lyrics sound good. I can spend hours tweaking a song on Suno that ends up sounding terrible, only to hit on one at random that does a decent job of presenting the lyrics in music form. So, if you like a song, it’s because of random chance, not my skill.

I’d like to stay anonymous for a few reasons (including the one above), but also because I want to give all the praise and glory to our Creator, Jehovah.

I do not speak or write on behalf of The Watchtower, JW.org, or any other Jehovah's Witness. If you would like to know more, please visit the official website at www.jw.org
