We Are One
西城男孩Westlife Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two very different people
Too scared to get along
Till two hearts beat together
Underneath one sun
One very special moment
Can turn a destiny
And what some would say
Could never change
Has changed for you and me

'Cause it's all, it's all in the way you
Look through your eyes
And when all is said and done
All of the fear and all of the lies are
Not hard to overcome
It's all in the way you look at it
That makes you strong
We were two (we were two)
Now we are one

We are two very different people
So much to overcome
So why care for one another
When there's so much to be done

'Cause sometimes it´s necessary
Just look how far we´ve come
You could say my friend that
It's the end
Or a new tale has begun

'Cause it's all, it's all in the way you
Look through your eyes
And when all is said and done
All of the fear and all of the lies are
Not hard to overcome
It's all in the way you look at it
That makes you strong
We were two (we were two)
Now we are one

One moment in time
Is all the time we need
Just to make a difference
To make it better for you and for me
It you just believe

Oh yeah
Just open your eyes

'Cause it's all, it's all in the way you
Look through your eyes
And when all is said and done
All of the fear and all of the lies are
Not hard to overcome
It's all in the way you look at it
That makes you strong
We were two (we were two)
Now we are one

Oh yeah, oh yeah




We were two
Now we are one

@shofieanwarul6385

We are two,
And now we are one,
Adalah prinsip dalam pernikahan..
Tak ada lagi kata "Aku dan Kamu"
Keduanya sudah menjadi "Kita"

Ada satu prinsip yg harus kita junjung tinggi untuk menciptakan perdamaian dunia yaitu " Mari kita bekerjasama dalam hal yg disepakati dan saling bertoleransi dalam hal yg tidak kita sepakati..."

Bukankah kita sepakat bahwa kita semua adalah manusia, memiliki hati dan perasaan yg sama? Kamu dan aku ingin mencintai dan dicintai kan? Tapi tentu ada batasannya...terutama soal "keyakinan"

Aku seorang muslim, kami dilarang untuk memaksa orang lain menganut Islam, bahkan kami dilarang untuk mencela dan mengolok-olok Tuhan yang diyakini orang lain."
