One Heart
Pops Fernandez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of what love brings
Then endings are beginnings
Of beautiful things
It's a chance you take
A chance you're in
If someone's gonna find you
First you've got to let them in
'Cause love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now it's easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
You might win it all
Or lose your heart
If you're not afraid
Of what you feel
Then try to keep it simple
But try and keep it real
And if bein' real
Means that someday you'd say goodbye
Remember my friends
Good-bye's not the end
It's a circle you know
And it starts with one hello
Love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now it's easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
Remember my friends
Good-bye's not the end
It's a circle you know
And it starts
It starts with one hello
It starts with one hello
The song "One Heart" by Pops Fernandez is a beautiful masterpiece that talks about love, its complexities, and its unpredictability. The song has an insightful message that encourages people to be courageous in love, to take risks even when there are no guarantees of a happy ending. It suggests that taking a chance on love is always better than never taking one at all.
The song's lyrics "If you're not afraid of what love brings, then endings are beginnings of beautiful things" reflects the idea that endings don't always have to be bad; instead, they can be the start of something even more beautiful. The song urges listeners to embrace the journey of love with all its ups and downs, the pain, the joy, the heartbreak, and the enduring love that remains long after the pain has subsided.
The phrase "Love begins with one hello" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing that one simple gesture or one small step, in the beginning, can lead to a lifetime of love and happiness. This phrase demonstrates how even the smallest and seemingly insignificant moments can have the greatest impact on our lives, and how a single hello can change someone's life forever.
Line by Line Meaning
If you're not afraid
If you have the courage to face what love may bring
Of what love brings
Of the uncertainty and risks that come with love
Then endings are beginnings
The end of one relationship can mark the start of something new
Of beautiful things
Of new and positive experiences
It's a chance you take
Loving someone requires taking a risk
A chance you're in
You are currently in the midst of that risk
If someone's gonna find you
If you are open to love and relationships
First you've got to let them in
You need to open yourself up to the possibility of love in order for it to find you
'Cause love begins with one hello
Relationships start with an introduction or a simple greeting
The hardest part is over
Breaking the ice with a simple hello can be the most difficult part of starting a relationship
Now it's easy letting go
Once you have said hello, it's easier to let the relationship grow and progress
One hello is how it starts
A relationship can begin with a simple greeting
You might win it all
You have the potential to experience great happiness and gain a lot from love
Or lose your heart
There is also the risk of heartbreak and disappointment in love
If you're not afraid
If you have the courage to face what you're feeling
Of what you feel
Of the emotions that come with love and relationships
Then try to keep it simple
Try not to overthink or complicate your feelings
But try and keep it real
Be honest and authentic about your feelings
And if bein' real
If being honest with yourself and others
Means that someday you'd say goodbye
If your honesty leads to the end of a relationship
Remember my friends
Remember that
Goodbye's not the end
The end of a relationship does not signify the end of all possibilities for love and happiness
It's a circle you know
It is a recurring cycle
And it starts with one hello
And it all starts with a simple greeting
Love begins with one hello
Relationships and love begin with a simple greeting
Remember my friends
Remember that
Goodbye's not the end
The end of a relationship does not signify the end of all possibilities for love and happiness
It's a circle you know
It is a recurring cycle
And it starts
And it all begins
It starts with one hello
It all begins with a simple greeting
