One World / Love Is The Seventh Wave
Sting Lyrics

It may seem a million miles away But it gets a little closer everyday
The problems of the world may seem far away, but they are becoming closer to us every day.

One world is enough, for all of us One world is enough, for all of us
We only need one world for everyone to live in; we must not create artificial boundaries.

It's a subject we rarely mention But when we do we have this little invention By pretending they're a different world from me I show my responsibility One world is enough, for all of us One world is enough, for all of us
We rarely talk about the problems in the world, but when we do, we pretend that people living in different parts of the world live in a different world than us. However, by pretending this, we show that we are responsible for their problems. We must remember that one world is enough for everyone.

The third world breathes our air tomorrow We live on the time we borrow In our world there's no time for sorrow In their world there is no tomorrow One world is enough, for all of us One world is enough, for all of us
The problems of one part of the world will affect the rest of the world soon. We must remember that we do not have much time to fix these problems. While we do not have time for sorrow in our world, people in some other parts of the world do not have a tomorrow to look forward to. We must remember that one world is enough for everyone.

Lines are drawn upon the world Before we get our flags unfurled Whichever one we pick It's just a self deluding trick One world is enough, for all of us One world is enough, for all of us
People create boundaries and divide themselves based on flags and countries. However, whatever flag we pick is just an illusion and trick we play on ourselves. We need to remember that one world is enough for everyone.

I don't want to bring a sour note Remember this before you vote We can all sink or we all float 'Cause we're all in the same big boat One world is enough for all of us One world is enough for all of us One world is enough for all of us One world is enough for all of us It may seem a million miles away But it gets a little closer everyday It may seem a million miles away But it gets a little closer everyday
I do not want to be pessimistic, but we must remember that we are in this together. Whatever affects one part of the world will affect the rest of the world. We must keep this in mind before we vote. We must remember that one world is enough for everyone.

In the empire of the senses You're the queen of all you survey All the cities all the nations Everything that falls your way
You rule over everything that you can see and touch, including the cities and nations.

There is a deeper wave than this That you don't understand There is a deeper wave than this Tugging at your hand
There is a deeper and more powerful force in the world that you may not be aware of, and it is trying to guide you.

Every ripple on the ocean Every leaf on every tree Every sand dune in the desert Every power we never see There is a deeper wave than this Swelling in the world There is a deeper wave than this Listen to me girl
Every small thing in the world adds up to create a larger force that you may not be aware of. You need to listen to this force and understand it.

Feel it rising in the cities Feel it sweeping over land Over borders, over frontiers Nothing will its power withstand There is no deeper wave than this Rising in the world There is no deeper wave than this Listen to me girl
This powerful force is growing stronger and is affecting entire cities and countries. Borders and frontiers cannot stop its power. There is no deeper or powerful force than this, and you need to listen to it.

All the bloodshed, all the anger All the weapons, all the greed All the armies, all the missiles All the symbols of our fear There is a deeper wave than this Rising in the world There is a deeper wave than this Listen to me girl
Despite all the violence, hate, weapons, and fear in the world, there is still a deeper force rising in the world, and you need to listen to this force instead of being consumed by these negative feelings.

At the still point of destruction At the center of the fury All the angels, all the devils All around us can't you see There is a deeper wave than this Rising in the land There is a deeper wave than this Nothing will withstand
Even in moments of chaos and destruction, there is a deeper force at work, and you need to pay attention to it. Nothing can withstand this force, and it will continue to grow stronger in the world.

I say love is the seventh wave
The deepest and most powerful force in the world is love, which is like the seventh wave that comes after the first six. We need to embrace and listen to this force in order to make the world a better place.
