One World
I-One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And we walk, straight, straight on a path
We always move forward, donΒ΄t ever look back
Almost frozen, blind ignorant, empty and cold
Like a stranger, trespassing, just diggig for gold
And why is it so hard, to be an upstanding person
Just to live in a world where we lie to survive
Cause this is our fault, the greed in our heads
We always take more than we ever give back
What, what, what would you do
What would you do in the moment of truth
Seems like there is no way to go
DonΒ΄t let your self down, better start to grow
Dont, donΒ΄t, donΒ΄t try to go
DonΒ΄t try to walk this path alone
One way, one life, one oppurtunity
One world, one kind, one place to be
You donΒ΄t have to carry their cross
You donΒ΄t have to carry their… cross
Make tommorow a reason to be
And break these chains
On your wrist
There is so much to see
DonΒ΄t follow your fears
TheyΒ΄re only in your head
SO TELL ME
What, what, what would you do
What would you do in the moment of truth
Seems like there is no way to go
DonΒ΄t let your self down, better start to grow
Dont, donΒ΄t, donΒ΄t try to go
DonΒ΄t try to walk this path alone
One way one life one oppurtunity
One world, one kind, one place to be
STOP DISSAPROVE, START FACING THE TRUTH
I guess you are more than this
All you need is a reason to fight for
SO STOP DISSAPROVE, AND NOW START FACING THE TRUTH




This is your last chance to agree
One world, one kind, one place to be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of I-One's song "One World" convey a powerful message about the need for self-reflection and positive action in the face of a world filled with greed, ignorance, and emptiness. The verses describe a society that is constantly moving forward but fails to look back and learn from its mistakes. The metaphor of digging for gold portrays our relentless pursuit of material gain, often at the expense of others.


The lyrics highlight the difficulty of being a morally upright person in a world that often values deception and self-interest. The chorus poses a question to the listener, asking what they would do in the moment of truth, implying that it is crucial to stand up for what is right. The song encourages individuals not to let themselves down and to strive for personal growth, emphasizing the importance of unity and community rather than trying to walk the path alone.
