One Life
TreeHouse! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Babylon will come, but not to stay
So only a fool obeys
It's the ones at the top who's still afraid
Afraid to see the day when all the people say
I will live my life in my own right
Try to see the light with my own eyes
I'm finding one love in this one life
Finding one love in this one life
Sharing one love in this one life
I'm living one love in the sunlight
I want to believe in something
Something so surreal
Something I can feel
Could you believe in something
Hate can break your heart, but love can truly heal
It's on the lonely days we find ourselves astray
Though we must push on
You know there is no other way
You may say it differently, but in the end believe
What you give unto this world is
What you will receive
Let us renew the faith
I give thanks for all my blessings, and still I pray
I pray to see the day when all my people say
I will live my life in my own right
Try to see the light with my own eyes
Try to rise above with my own mind
I'm finding one love in this one life
Finding one love in this one life
Sharing one love in this one life
I'm living one love in the sunlight
So let the rude awake (wake, wake, wake)
The system is here, but it's gonna fade, fade away
So only a fool obeys (obeys, obeys)
It's the ones at the top who's still afraid
Afraid to see the day when all my people say
I will live my life in my own right
Try to see the light with my own eyes
Try to rise above with my own mind
I'm finding one love in this one life
I will live my life in my own right
Try to see the light with my own eyes
Try to rise above with my own mind
I'm finding one love in this one life
Finding one love in this one life
Sharing one love in this one life
I'm living one love in the sunlight
Finding one love in this one life
Sharing one love in this one life
I'm living one love in the sunlight
The song "One Life" by TreeHouse! carries a strong theme of individuality and self-realization. The opening lines "We let them rule away, Babylon will come, but not to stay" suggests the idea of someone living under oppressive leadership but believing that one day they will overcome it. The following lines, "So only a fool obeys, It's the ones at the top who's still afraid, Afraid to see the day when all the people say" further support the idea that those in power are not to be obeyed blindly and that the people will eventually rise to bring about change.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of living life on one's own terms, with lyrics like "I will live my life in my own right, Try to see the light with my own eyes, Try to rise above with my own mind, I'm finding one love in this one life." The repetition of "Finding one love in this one life, sharing one love in this one life, I'm living one love in the sunlight" also highlights the importance of love and living life to the fullest.
The song also touches on the power of belief and the hope for a better future. "Let us renew the faith, I give thanks for all my blessings, and still I pray" suggests that despite difficult times, the singer remains hopeful and chooses to believe in something greater. The final lines of the song reiterate the idea of individuality and self-realization, with the repeated chorus of "I will live my life in my own right, Try to see the light with my own eyes, Try to rise above with my own mind, I'm finding one love in this one life."
