A1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fade beneath a rain cloud
Have you ever chased your dreams away
Did you ever think that
Life was just a highway
A never ending road of lonely days
There are times we cry
For the strength we need
To hold our head up high
All we have to do now
Is love one another
Sisters and brothers
Can all live as one
And all we have to do now
Is show one another
We all need each other
To live as one in love
Have you seen a sunrise
Promising you daylight
When all you need is shelter from the storm
Have you ever felt that
Love was just an island
You can't survive on love all on your own
There are times when I
Need to reach inside
For the strength I need
To hold my head up high
All we have to do now
Is love one another
Sisters and brothers
Can all live as one
And all we have to do now
Is show one another
We all need each other
To live as one in love
If we push aside the blame
For the tears and the pain
You know love can reign
And the world will smile again
The lyrics of A1's song "One in Love" talk about the ups and downs that come along with life, the importance of love, and how we all need each other to get through difficult times.

The lyrics suggest that we sometimes cry and look up to the sky for strength to hold our heads up high.
In the chorus, the message of the song becomes quite clear. Love is the answer. The lyrics indicate that all we need to do is love one another, as sisters and brothers, and live as one in love. We're reminded that we're not alone and that we all need each other to get through the challenges we may face.
The second verse goes on to talk about how love can be a source of hope, even in the darkest times. It compares love to an island that can be a shelter from the storm. The lyrics suggest that we sometimes need to reach inside ourselves to find the strength to hold our heads up high.
Overall, "One in Love" promotes a positive message of love and unity, urging us to forget about blame and pain and let love reign. It's a song that speaks to the human experience and reminds us that we're all in this together.

There are moments when I
Need to reach inside
I must look within myself

To find the courage or power that I require
If we push aside the blame
If we stop looking for fault and accusations
For the tears and the pain
For the things that have brought us sadness and hurt
You know love can reign
We can let love take control
And the world will smile again
The world can be a happy and joyful place once more
