One
Matt Easton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What is the number one to many
What is one to two
The power of one is that it can represent both
One group
Two people in love, under one roof
One race of mankind, human, and that's the truth
They often title people, that's one word, all equal
The reason behind the beautiful painting hanging on mother earth's easel
That's covered with many colors
Working to help each other
Paint a bigger picture covered with my sisters and brothers
See this is a generation brought up with teachings of changes and freedom and innovation
They feed us this education
What if God was Earth
It gives life and it takes it too
Than we're living on the proof
That I'm not that different than you

We all grow off a family tree
But your roots planted share the same ground as me
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One
Human is the race that I see
Don't let lies write the lives of humanity
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One

I'm not the first to discover
That this equality number
Can group us all up forever
Everyone working together
You'll see where ever you go
They travel similar roads
Value the path that they chose
Watching their life slowly grow
We're meant to travel the distance it takes to change what was written
Why is the thought of erasing any lines seen as forbidden
Take care of what we were given
My race ain't nothing but human
So turn your mind to a movement
And move some minds where we're movin'

We all grow off a family tree
But your roots planted share the same ground as me
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One
Human is the race that I see
Don't let lies write the lives of humanity
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One

You can find me on the next plane, oversea
Noticing they on the same page that I read
And they all bleed the same color that I bleed
And we all got the same feelings, the same needs
You know that the number one grows, it multiplies
Starting with a single mind, it escalates higher
And that one community is just a branch off the tree
That shares the same roots from the ground we've received

We all grow off a family tree
But your roots planted share the same ground as me
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One
Human is the race that I see
Don't let lies write the lives of humanity
We are
One
We are
One
We are
One




We are
One
