We Are One
Dave Thomas Junior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you fail, when you're lost
When we're gone together

When you sleep, when you wake
We resist, forever

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

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
