Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One heart
Let's join together and I'll feel alright
One love (oh, Lord, have mercy)
One heart
I tell you, let's just salsabrate (let's join together)
And I will feel alright (and I'll feel alright)
Let's join together and I'll feel alright
Now, let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love)
There is one question I'd really like to ask (one soul)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save the soul?
One love
One heart
Let's join together and I'll feel alright
One love (hear my plea)
One heart
Let's join together and I'll feel alright
Let's join together (thanks and Praise to the Lord)
And I'll feel alright (and I will feel alright)
Let's join together to fight this holy battle
So when the man comes there will be no, no doom
Have pity on those whose chances grows thinner
There ain't no hiding place when the king comes along, yes
One love (hear my plea)
One heart (whoa)
Let's join together and I'll feel alright
One love (oh, Lord, have mercy)
One heart
I tell you, let's just salsabrate (let's join together)
And I will feel alright (and I'll feel alright)
Let's join together and I'll feel alright
One love
One heart
Let's join together and I'll feel alright
One love (oh, Lord)
One heart (ohh)
Let's join together and I'll feel alright
Let's join together (give thanks and Praise to the Lord)
And I'll feel alright (and I will feel alright)
I tell you, let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love)
There is one question I'd really like to ask (one soul)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save the soul?
One love (oh, Lord, have mercy)
One heart
I tell you, let's just salsabrate (let's join together)
And I will feel alright (and I'll feel alright)
One love (hear my plea)
One heart (hear my plea)
Let's join together and I'll feel alright
Let's join together (give thanks and Praise to the Lord)
And I'll feel alright (and I will feel alright)
Bob Marley’s ‘One Love’ exhorts listeners to unite as one human race and stop fighting each other. The passionate call to action for ‘one love, one heart’ offers an image of unity that could overcome the rampant social problems of the 1970s. The lyrics invoke the pain and hope of this generation by suggesting that the children are crying today because of the injustices they see and experience. Marley links the human need for love with the faith that seeing God in others provides greater social cohesion than any other force in their lives.
The song points to the idea that God cares for all humanity, oppressed and oppressive, and welcomes everyone. The song is a plea to all survivors of adversity to join together and break free from their chains, inequality, poverty, and destitution. Marley believed in the power of music to inspire and motivate, and this song reflects the possibility of music to bring people together across worldwide divides. It evokes universal emotions that people can connect to, and it has transformed into a pop culture phenomenon.
