Unity Song
King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some fighters when bruised
Retire choose to lose
Some bruisers confused
Lean on their brothers
That's a desperation move

We can't change the times
Or the stars friends I know
We can't change the times
Or the stars
Huh

Communication some of that give and take
A sound anthem worth some debate

We can't change the times
Or the stars friends I know
We can't change the times
Or the stars

You want to tell me about it
How should we answer - bittersweet
How should we answer - box on nimble feet




How should we answer - with a unity song
How should we answer - with a unity song

Overall Meaning

The song "Unity Song" by King is a powerful statement about the need for unity and solidarity in the face of adversity. The first verse speaks to the dilemma faced by those who are facing struggles and challenges - some will give up and accept defeat, while others will rely on the support of their friends and allies to keep fighting. King suggests that the latter is the better approach, as it represents a powerful form of solidarity and community.


The chorus features the repeated refrain "We can't change the times or the stars," which serves as a reminder that there are some things beyond our control. However, this should not lead us to despair or hopelessness. Instead, we should focus on what we can control - our relationships, our communication, and our ability to come together in common cause.


The final verse is a call to action - how should we respond to the challenges we face? King suggests that the answer lies in a "unity song." This could be interpreted in a number of ways - perhaps it represents a literal song that can bring people together, or maybe it's a metaphorical call to action, urging us to work together and find common ground in pursuit of a better future.
