Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know our love will last forever
You I love and not another
And I know we'll always be together
Some have one love, two and three love
Four and five and six love
But I believe in one love
I believe in one love
They have to play the field, prove they have charm
They say don't lay your eggs in 1 basket
If the basket should fall all the eggs'll be broken
But I believe in one love
I believe in one love
Oh girl I believe in one love
I believe in one love
Oh girl it's not the everyday you find the woman of your dreams
Who will always be there no matter how bad things seem
Ever so faithful ever so sure
No man could ever ask for more
I believe in 1 love
I believe in one love, oh girl
I believe in one love
I believe, girl, oh yeah
In one love (x4)
I do (x3)
In 1 love
I do
In one love
I believe in one love, in one love.

There are no words for how deeply raw and beautiful this movie was. I have always loved Caribbean music and culture. As a brown girl/woman, born of black American parents, I have always said that I feel I have have Jamaican roots. I have great love for my Jamaican brothers and sisters. I like millions, live Bob Marley. And like many, I had no insight into who the man Bob Marley is, not just the artist. Well now I know. Ziggy Marley honored his father in an unfathomable way. The film was rich, organic and left my spirit full of joy and Revelation. I learned most importantly the deep faith of Bob Marley and the Rastafarian Faith and Culture. His love for Jah, his creator and humanity was in his soul. I am blown away. Beautiful cast and film. ONE LOVE ❤
