One Voice
The Bilz & Kashif Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we're still fighting for peace
Wars, hate crimes and terrorist attacks
It′s making it hard to breathe
We're investing in weapons of mass destruction
When the third world is hungry
You and I have the power to create a future
Without violence and poverty
Stand up, speak out and break the silence
Build awareness, Share the knowledge
Stop ignoring and deliver the message of peace
Just a breath away to make a change
One voice can make a difference
Just a breath away to make a change
One voice can make a difference
Om bhur Bhuwah swaha
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasaya dheemahi
Dhiyo yo naha prachodayat
Om bhur Bhuwah swaha
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasaya dheemahi
Dhiyo yo naha prachodayat
Helpless children are dying and suffering
Living in fear and pain
Struggling hard to stay alive and praying to be saved
From all nations dropping bombs killing innocent victims
We're missing love for humanity
We have a mission to accomplish and to practice what we preach
Get informed, Get inspired
Stand up, speak out and break the silence
Build awareness, Share the knowledge
Stop ignoring and deliver the message of peace
Is this world ever gonna be a better place?
Nothing is impossible
Today′s impossibilities are tomorrow′s miracles
Is this world ever gonna be a better place?
Nothing is impossible
Today's impossibilities are tomorrow′s miracles.
The Bilz & Kashif's song One Voice addresses the ongoing issue of violence, terrorism, and poverty that we experience in the 21st century despite our technological advancements. The chorus encourages individuals to make a difference and bring peace with one voice - that everyone can contribute to building a better world. The song stresses the importance of awareness, knowledge sharing, standing up, and speaking out against violence, despite the silence that often engulfs us on this topic. The prayer “Om bhur Bhuwah swaha, Tat savitur varenyam, Bhargo devasaya dheemahi, Dhiyo yo naha prachodayat” is chanted in the song, which means may God inspire our intellect.
The verses highlight the barriers towards achieving a peaceful world, such as investing in weapons of mass destruction, the lack of love for humanity, and the bombing of innocent victims. It is a call to action, urging everyone to break the silence, be informed and inspired, and spread knowledge to achieve a society without violence and poverty. As the song states, nothing is impossible, and today's impossibilities may become tomorrow's miracles.

Best piece of this song: Aum Bhuh Bhuvah Svah Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yo nah Prachodayat "O thou existence Absolute, Creator of the three dimensions, we contemplate upon thy divine light. May He stimulate our intellect and bestow upon us true knowledge." Or simply, "O Divine mother, our hearts are filled with darkness. Please make this darkness distant from us and promote illumination within us."
