His acoustic songs are written from the heart, and recorded in the early hours of the morning when everyone else is asleep.
We Are One
Dave Thomas Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we're gone together
When you sleep, when you wake
We resist, forever
We are one
Know you're not in this alone
Because, you got my heart in your hands
So keep my faith in your soul
When your backs against the wall
Because, you got my heart in your hands
How I wish, we could be
Just ourselves, each other
No goodbyes, no lies
Cause you know together we can make it if we're strong enough
We are one
When your fate is letting go
Know you're not in this alone
Because, you got my heart in your hands
So keep my faith in your soul
When your backs against the wall
Because, you got my heart in your hands
So wait stop the world now
Cause I love whatever you are
Just wait stop it all now
Cause it's tearing us apart
When your fate is letting go
Know you're not in this alone
Because, you got my heart in your hands
So keep my faith in your soul
When your backs against the wall
Because, you got my heart in your hands
Dave Thomas Junior's song "We Are One" is an uplifting anthem of unity and support during hard times. The chorus repeats the phrase "we are one," emphasizing the interconnectedness of humanity and the importance of standing together. The lyrics acknowledge that everyone faces struggles and challenges, and that those moments can feel overwhelming and isolating. But the song encourages listeners to remember that they are not alone, and that there is strength in the unity of human bonds.
The verse "when your fate is letting go, know you're not in this alone" speaks to the experience of feeling like everything is falling apart and there's no way out. The song urges the listener to hold on to faith, strength, and the knowledge that there are people who care and will support them.
The final verse "so wait, stop the world now, cause I love whatever you are" is a call to action for listeners and those around them to pause and reflect on the beauty and value of human diversity. The line "just wait, stop it all now, cause it's tearing us apart" acknowledges the harm that can be caused by hate, intolerance, and divisiveness. The song ultimately reminds us that we are strongest when we work together, love and support each other, and celebrate our differences.
