One Love
Black Train Jack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's get together and feel all right.
Hear the children cryin' (One love!)
Hear the children cryin' (One heart!),
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right,
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right.
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One love!)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?
One love! What about the one heart? One heart!
What about, people? Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One love!)
So shall it be in the end (One heart!),
All right!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
One more thing!
Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (One love!),
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One song!).
Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner;
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.
Sayin': One love! What about the one heart? (One heart!)
What about the ? Let's get together and feel all right.
I'm pleadin' to mankind! (One love!)
Oh, Lord! (One heart) Whoa!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right,
Let's get together and feel all right.
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right,
Let's get together and feel all right.
The song is a cover of Bob Marley's "One Love/People Get Ready" and is essentially a call to humanity to come together as one, specifically in the face of adversity and turmoil. The lyrics begin with a call for unity, expressing that when people are together and united, everything will be alright. The children crying in the song serves as a metaphor for people suffering all over the world and highlights the need to work together to address these issues. The following stanza points toward religious salvation and forgiveness, asking if even the worst of sinners can find a place of redemption. This highlights that no one is perfect and that in order to move forward and progress, forgiveness and love are crucial.
The song then returns to the central themes of unity and love, with the singer again calling on people to come together in the face of danger and strife. The reference to "Holy Armagiddyon" is likely a nod to the biblical battle between good and evil, with the song serving as a call to action for the listeners to fight for what is right. The final stanza again asks for unity and love, with the singer pleading with mankind to work together to make the world a better place.
