Sting Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be your man of good faith
When in love you live
I'll make a stand, I won't break
I'll be the rock you can lean on, oh
Be there when you're old
To have and to hold
I swear I'll always be strong
And there's a reason why
I'll prove to you we belong
I'll be the wall that protects you, yeah
From the wind and the rain
From the hurt and the pain, yeah, oh
Let's make it all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love
When it's love you make
I'll be the fire in your night
Then it's love you take
I will defend, I will fight
I'll be there when you need me
When honor's at stake
This vow I will make, yeah
That it's all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love
Don't lay our love to rest
'Cause we could stand up to the test
We got everything and more than we had planned
More than the rivers that run inland
We got it all in our hands
Now it's all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
When there's someone that you want
When there's someone that you need
Let's make it all, all for one
And all for love
Sting's "All for Love" is a classic love song that encompasses the themes of commitment, devotion, and loyalty. The opening lines of the song, "When it's love you give, I'll be your man of good faith, when in love you live, I'll make a stand, I won't break," set the precedent for Sting's promise to be there for his beloved through thick and thin. He assures her that he will always be her rock, a dependable figure that protects her from the hardships of the world.
The phrase "Let's make it all for one and all for love" conveys the idea of shared experiences and mutual affection. Sting emphasizes the importance of being true to one's feelings and expressing them, "When there's someone that you know, then just let your feelings show." The song then ends with a call to action, "When there's someone that you want, when there's someone that you need, let's make it all, all for one and all for love."
The combination of Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting was a perfect blend of pop-rock and balladry for radio stations in 1993. The music video, featuring the three singers, was also extremely popular and received extensive airplay on MTV. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, ultimately losing to "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen. "All for Love" was also included in Disney’s animated film, "The Three Musketeers."
