One, two, ready, go
Grow some big feet, holes in history
Is where you’ll find me, is where you’ll find
All is love, is love, is love, is love

Where you’ll find me, where you’ll find
All is Love, is love, is love, is love

Hey, ooh
Hey, ooh
Ooh ooh
All is Love

One, two, ready, go
L.O.V.E, it’s a mystery
Where you’ll find me, where you’ll find
All is love, is love, is love, is love

The opening line, “Grow some big feet, holes in history,” suggests that the singer is inviting the listener to go on a journey, to explore the unknown, and to make their mark in the world. The idea of “holes in history” implies that there are gaps in our understanding of the world and that exploring those gaps is essential to gaining a better understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe.

The refrain, “All is love, is love, is love, is love,” is a mantra that repeats throughout the song. The repetition reinforces the idea that love is universal and all-encompassing. The song suggests that love is at the center of everything, and that it is what gives our lives meaning and purpose.
