Together As One
Martin Nievera & Gary Valenciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been on this road so long
You'd think by now I'd know
The whys, the who's and how's
But no, not now, not now

Been searching for too long
People (we) should be aware
We can't make it on our own
No, not now, not ever

You and I
We can make it together
We can share the road
To reach the higher goal
Step by step, you lead and I will follow
And if you fall, I'll be there, your brother

You and I
And you and you and you and you and
You and I, as one, as one
You and I
Show the world the best is yet to come
With you and I, as one

And then I stop and think about our daughters
And sons they they be strong
Much more than me, more than me

They need our love right now
We are their fathers
And when I see their smiles
You know it sets me free

You and I
As one, as one
You and I
As one, as one




You and I
As one, as one

Overall Meaning

In the song "Together As One" by Martin Nievera and Gary Valenciano, the lyrics convey a message about unity and the importance of working together towards a common goal. The opening lines of the song express a sense of uncertainty and frustration, with the singer admitting that despite being on the road for a long time, they still don't have all the answers. The chorus reveals that the solution to their struggles is to join forces with others, highlighting the power of collaboration and support.


The second verse takes on a more personal tone, with the theme of family and parenthood emerging. The lyrics suggest a responsibility to guide the next generation and provide the love and support they need to flourish. The repetition of the line "You and I as one, as one" serves as a reminder that working together can not only benefit us as individuals, but can also have a positive impact on those around us.
