Al Jarreau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really, really touch somebody.
With a random act of love.
VERSE: 1
Everything we do with good intent
Won't ever disappear, it only ripples into habit
Ever deep, cause it's no accident
That you and I are here
And you and I were meant to happen
CHORUS
There's one thing, that i know
That's like a gift unto the giver
And that's a random act of love
Everyday find a cause
And let it flow just like a river
Into a random act of love
VERSE: 2
An open heart can change the world we know
Into a loving place
Reviving everything that's givin' in it
Every spark, another chance to grow
Let love illuminate
The place where light is dimming
CHORUS
There's one thing, that i know
That's like a gift unto the giver
And that's a random act of love
Everyday find a cause
And let it flow just like a river
Into a random act of love
VERSE 3
One simple thing,
can really touch somebody
Make somebody smile inside
What joy it brings,
to really touch somebody
Love's a win-win heart reliever,
As good for the giver as it is the receiver.
Really touch somebody with a random act of love
Really touch somebody with a random act of love
CHORUS X 2
Just one thing I know,
That's a gift to the giver
Just one thing I know,
Just, let it flow like a river
Just one thing I know,
Making life even better
One thing that I know,
Flip your script
CHORUS X
One thing that I know of love
Everyday……
The song "Random Act of Love" by Al Jarreau is a call to action to make a positive impact on someone's life through an act of kindness. The lyrics encourage listeners to be intentional with their good intentions and to let them ripple into a habit of showing love to others. Jarreau emphasizes that our presence in the world is not accidental, and that we are meant to make a difference in other people's lives. The chorus reinforces the idea that a random act of love, no matter how small, can make a difference in someone's day, and that we should find a cause to support and let our love flow freely like a river.
In verse two, Jarreau highlights the transformative power of an open heart, and how it can change the world into a place of love and kindness. He urges listeners to use every opportunity to spread love and to let it illuminate the dark places in the world. The final verse continues the message of the song, emphasizing that even the simplest act of kindness can bring joy to someone's life and that love is beneficial for both the giver and the receiver. The repeated refrain of "Really touch somebody with a random act of love" drives home the song's theme of intentionally spreading love and kindness to others.
