Due Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was shattered by a gun
Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried
I saw a mother
She was praying for her son
Bring him back, let him live, dont let him die
Do you ever ask yourself
Why cant we get it right
cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why cant we live as one
I saw the evening
Fading shadows one by one
We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
The children of the sun
How they wept, how they bled, how they died
Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a heaven in the sky
Why cant we stop the fight
cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why cant we live as one
Sometimes I think Im going mad
Were loosing all we had and no one seems to care
But in my heart it doesnt change
Weve got to rearrange and bring our world some love
And does it really matter
If theres a heaven up above
We sure could use some love
cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why cant we live as one
cause we all live under the same sky
We all look up at the same stars
Then why, tell me why cant we live as one
The lyrics of Due's song "Under the Same Sun" speak of the tragedies of life and ask timeless questions. The song opens with the singer witnessing a violent scene in which a man is shot and killed, and no one seems to offer any help or support. The next verse speaks of a mother praying for her son's life, hoping that he won't die. In the chorus, the singer wonders why people can't just live in harmony and unity, despite the differences in their cultures and beliefs. The second verse speaks of children who suffered and died, while questioning why humans persist in violence and conflict. Finally, the artist expresses his own feelings of despair and frustration with the state of the world and the seeming lack of progress.
The song's message is clear: the world's problems would be resolved if people could come together and love each other. The song eloquently captures the feeling of helplessness that many people experience when they observe the suffering and tragedy that happens all around them. The song ends with a plea for love to be the force that unites us, rather than allowing differences to drive us apart.
