We Are One
Disney 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
When it seems all your dreams come undone

We are more than we are
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 plan?

Your journey has only begun

Is our pride, deep inside
We are one

Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one

One family under the sun

You will find when you see
We are one

Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one




Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one

Overall Meaning

The song "We Are One" from Disney's The Lion King focuses on the idea that life is unpredictable and things don't always go according to plan. The lyrics emphasize that we may not fully understand everything that happens in life, but we can take comfort in knowing that we are not alone in our struggles. The song reiterates the important message that we are all connected and form one big family under the sun.


The first verse speaks to the challenges of life and how we often do not understand why certain things happen. The chorus then reminds us that despite these uncertainties, we are all part of a larger collective and have the strength of unity. The second verse questions whether we can truly be ourselves and trust our own instincts, or if we are simply a small piece of a greater plan. Ultimately, the answer is found in the fact that everyone's journey is unique and we must embrace and trust our own path.


The song highlights the idea of family and unity, which is a recurring theme in The Lion King. It showcases how even though we may come from different backgrounds or have different experiences, we are more alike than different. It encourages listeners to recognize the importance of togetherness and embrace their role in the larger human family.
