Love One Another
Michael W. Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a dream that I was speaking
With a prophet from the land of wise
In a crowd of people from the land of troubled hearts
I said we've come here for answers
A solution to our world's demise
He said the journey would be long
But here's where you start
Love one another
Love one another
Work it in to work it out
There could never be enough
Love one another
Love one another
Cause you know without a doubt
You can change your world with love

It was a simple conclusion
But I thought that it was rather profound
Just a fundamental law that we should all live by
I took it in to tomorrow
Yea, I walked the earth but I never found
Any corner of the world
Where this did not apply

Love one another
Love one another
Work it in to work it out
There could never be enough
Love one another
Love one another
Cause you know without a doubt
You can change your world with love

And looking out I saw no method to the madness there
Like in a vision from the Isle of Patmos, I was scared
It was a revelation
Love is getting rare

The people of the land united
And in my dream we all agreed
That we should start again
And this would be our creed

Love one another
Love one another
Work it in to work it out
There could never be enough
Love one another
Love one another




Cause you know without a doubt
You can change your world with love
