Unity
Desmond Dekker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the time that we all should live as one, brothers
This is the time that we all should live as one, sisters
So come along brothers and come along sisters

U.N.I.T.Y., this unity
So come along brothers and sisters, woah

Aah aah, we must live as one
'Coz two wrongs can never make a right
Look into the age that we're living in today, brothers
Look into the age that we're living in today, sisters
So come along brothers and come along sisters

U.N.I.T.Y., this unity
So come along brothers and sisters, woah

Aaa, aaa, aah
Look into the age that we're living in today, brothers
Look into the age that we're living in today, sisters
So come along brothers and come along sisters

U.N.I.T.Y., this unity
U.N.I.T.Y., this unity




U.N.I.T.Y., this unity

Dekker sings about the need for unity in the face of adversity and the importance of coming together in order to confront the social ills that plague society.


The refrain of the song, "U.N.I.T.Y., this unity" is a reminder that unity is the key to overcoming the problems that we face today.
