There's something going on over there
There's something going on over there
But there's something going on right here, and it's our life
I see some boogie, out of their shoes
Some just grooving, grooving to the groove
I am skanking, skanking loose
But we're all doing the same thing

It's just all love
Got to be all love
It's just all love
That's right, all love

Wake up your love in the morning
Wake up your love in the night
Shape up the love, shape up the love in the morning
Shape up that love tonight

There's something going on over there
Well there's something going on over there
But there's something happening right here
It's our life, I and, I and I life
Some smile all the time, some a pop, pop till you drop
Do a steady rock, rock steady easy
'cause we're in the same thing

It's just all love
Got to be all love, tonight
It's all love
People give it, all love, now, what what

Shake up this place let the earth quake
Wake up this place let the earth vibrate
Shake up this place let the earth quake
Wake up this place let the earth vibrate
'cause there's something going on

Well there's something wrong going on over there
And there's something wrong, way, way, way, way, way back there
But there's something right, right here
It's our life, I and I life

All love
I'm giving it, all love
I don't, I don't know that, all love
I'm giving it, all love

I can't hold back, all love
Tonight, it's just all love, alright
All love
Don't hold back, all love

There's something happening right here
There's something happening right here
There's something happening right here
All love, all love, all love, that's what going on, all love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for "All Love" by Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers celebrate the power of love and its ability to unite people from all different walks of life. The song acknowledges that while there may be problems and struggles in the world at large, when people come together with love and positivity, those issues can be overcome. The first verse references people dancing and grooving to the music in different ways, but ultimately enjoying the same experience together. The chorus emphasizes that this is "all love" and that love is what is truly important.

In the second verse, the lyrics urge people to wake up their love and "shape it up" both in the morning and at night. This is a call to action for people to actively work on cultivating and expressing their love, rather than simply leaving it dormant or passive. The bridge section of the song repeats the refrain that "there's something going on," and emphasizes the importance of shaking things up and allowing the energy of love and positivity to vibrate and ripple out into the world.

What "All Love" offers through its lyrics is a sense of hope and connection. Even when things are difficult or uncertain, there is always the potential for people to come together and offer love and support to one another. By focusing on this idea, the song encourages listeners to embrace their own capacity for empathy and compassion, and to share it generously with those around them.
