Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children cryin' (One Love!)
Hear the children cryin' (One Heart!)
Sayin': give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin': let's get together and feel all right. Wo wo-wo wo-wo!
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love!)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?
One Love! What about the one heart? One Heart!
What about - ? Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love!)
So shall it be in the end (One Heart!)
All right!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right
One more thing!
Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (One Love!)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One Song!)
Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation
Sayin': One Love! What about the One Heart? (One Heart!)
What about the - ? Let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleadin' to mankind! (One Love!)
Oh, Lord! (One Heart) Wo-ooh!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right
The song "One Love" by Marc Chait is a powerful call to unity and peace. The lyrics start by suggesting that people come together, saying "Let's get together and feel all right". However, this call to unity is more than just a request for people to socialize; the lyrics go on to explain that we need to take care of each other. This is particularly important for children, who are crying out for help. The lyrics suggest that we should give thanks and praise to the Lord (or whoever/whatever we believe in) because this will help us all feel better.
The second section of the song suggests that people often criticize each other unfairly, and asks whether there is a place for those who have made mistakes but still need help. This question leads into the chorus again, with the singer repeating that we need "One Love" and "One Heart" to be able to find solutions to these problems. The next section of the song introduces the idea of fighting a holy war, but the singer is clear that this is not what they mean: they want to avoid Armageddon (catastrophic end-of-the-world events) and instead focus on improving life for everyone.
Overall, the song is a powerful message of hope and unity. It suggests that we can all come together to create a better world, but that we need to be thoughtful and compassionate towards each other to achieve this. The lyrics are simple but effective, and the repetition of the key phrases ("One Love", "One Heart", "Let's get together and feel all right") reinforce the idea that we are all in this world together and need to work together to create a better future.
