One Love
Sweet Steel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One love! One heart!
Let's get together and feel all right.
Hear the children cryin' (One love!)
Hear the children cryin' (One heart!),
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right,
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right.

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One love!)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One heart!)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One love! What about the one heart? One heart!
What about, people? Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One love!)
So shall it be in the end (One heart!),
All right!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
One more thing!

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (One love!),
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One song!).
Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner;
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.

Sayin': One love! What about the one heart? (One heart!)
What about the ? Let's get together and feel all right.
I'm pleadin' to mankind! (One love!)
Oh, Lord! (One heart) Whoa!

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right,
Let's get together and feel all right.




Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right,
Let's get together and feel all right.

Struggle. Man I've been listening to you since I was 13 years old, I'm 20 now. First song I've ever heard of yours was "ittl be alright" I litterally cried then smiled. I was living with my mother, her husband and my four sisters in a one bedroom, needless to say I've been through my own struggles. Your music helped me have a better outlook on my life and the circumstances of it. I'll always love and support what you do. It makes me happy to see your success with the music and in life. I hope you see this..
