We Are One
Jena Irene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are one, we are one here
We are one, we are one here
We are one, we are one here
We are one, we are one here
We are one, we are one here
We are one, we are one here
We are one, we are one here
We are one, we are one here

Mining for diamonds I've stumbled in gold
You made me feel I was half-way to hope
Found a piece of you, found a piece of me
I didn't need you here under my skin
But I feel you like the sun sinking in
All in spite of you, all in spite of me
Like a dream we'd awake
Like a feeling we stay forever
Where we go, we go together

I get slayed on your walls
We switched cities to dust
I see the walls disappear
We are one we are one
I see fire in your eyes
Never felt so alive
I see the walls disappear
We are one here!
We are one, we are one
I see the walls disappear
We are one here!

You're my protection, immune to the fall
Don't leave this armor I'm takin' it all
I feel close to you
So you're close to me
Like a dream we'd awake
Like a feeling we stay forever
Where we go, we go together

I get slayed on your walls
We switched cities to dust
I see the walls disappear
We are one we are one
I see fire in your eyes
Never felt so alive
I see the walls disappear
We are one here!
We are one, we are one
I see the walls disappear
We are one here!

In this dream I'm awaking
And our hearts never breaking
'Cause we are one

We are one, we are one here
We are one, we are one here
We are one, we are one here
We are one, we are one here

I get slayed on your walls
We switched cities to dust
I see the walls disappear
We are one we are one
I see fire in your eyes
Never felt so alive
I see the walls disappear
We are one here!

I get slayed on your walls
We switched cities to dust
I see the walls disappear

I see fire in your eyes
Never felt so alive




I see the walls disappear
We are one here!
