We Are One
Chorus/Gene Miller/Liz Callaway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
Don't understand
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned

But you see everyday that we'll never turn away
When it seems all your dreams come undone
We will stand by your side
Filled with hope and filled with pride
We are more than we are
We are one

Family family
We are one
Family family
We are one

If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
The way I am
Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big land

Even those who are gone
Are with us as we go on
Your journey has only begun

Tears of pain tears of joy
One thing nothing can destroy
Is our pride deep inside
We are one

Family family
We are one
Family family
We are one

We are one you and I
We are like the earth and sky
One family under the sun

All the wisdom to lead
All the courage that you need




You will find when you see
We are one

Overall Meaning

The song We Are One is an anthem of unity and hope that emphasizes the importance of family, community, and collective support. In the chorus, Gene Miller and Liz Callaway encourage listeners to acknowledge life's uncertainties and embrace the fact that despite our differences, we are all one. The first verse reflects on life's unpredictability and how sometimes things don't go according to plan. However, the chorus reassures us that we'll never be alone; those around us will continue to stand by our side.


The second verse raises a common existential question of whether we can be ourselves and still be accepted or if we must conform to appease others. The chorus follows to emphasize that it is possible to be our authentic selves and still belong to a collective. The bridge recognizes the ancestral roots and legacy of those who have passed away, and their presence continues to be with us on our journey. The final chorus brings it all together, encouraging us to see that we are like the earth and sky, one big family under the sun filled with wisdom, courage, and unity.
