One
U2 Mary J. Blige Lyrics

Is it getting better
Have things improved or do you still feel the same?

Or do you feel the same
Are you still feeling the same way?

Will it make it easier on you now
Having someone to blame, will it alleviate the difficulties you face?

You got someone to blame
You have someone to fault for the issues.

One love
Love is unity.

One life (one life)
We only get one life, and we must cherish it.

When it's one need
The common needs we all have.

In the night
Even during the darkest of times.

It's one love (one love)
Despite the circumstances, the love we share is still the same.

We get to share it (oh)
We have the privilege of sharing this kind of love.

It leaves you darling
However, if you do not care for it, it will go away.

If you don't care for it
If you don't put in the effort to maintain it.

Did I disappoint you?
Have I let you down in any way?

Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
Did I do something that made you hold a grudge?

You act like you never had love
You portray yourself as never having loved before.

And you want me to go without
You expect me to abandon the love we have.

Well it's too late
It's too late to dwell in the past.

Tonight
This moment.

To drag the past out into the light
To bring up old issues that should stay in the past.

We're one but we're not the same
We may be united, but we are not identical.

We get to carry each other
We have the opportunity to support each other.

Carry each other
To take on someone else's burdens.

One, one, one (one), one (one)
The repeated 'one' emphasizes the idea of unity.

Have you come here for forgiveness
Is your intention to seek forgiveness?

Have you come to raise the dead
Are you here to bring up issues that have already been resolved?

Have you come here to play Jesus
Are you trying to save me?

To the lepers in your head
To the people or memories that you see as diseased.

Did I ask too much
Did I demand too much from you?

More than a lot
Even more than what you are capable of giving.

You gave me nothing
You did not give me your all.

Now it's all I got
But it's all I have left now.

We hurt each other
We may hurt each other unintentionally.

Then we do it again
But we often repeat this same behavior.

Love is a temple
Love is something sacred and must be respected.

Love a higher law
Love is above all other rules or laws.

Love is the higher law
Love is the one law that trumps everything else.

You ask of me to enter
You are asking me to fully commit myself.

But then you made me crawl
But then you made me feel inferior or uncomfortable.

And I can't be holding on
I cannot hold on to what is hurting me.

To what you got
To what you have given me.

When all you got is hurt
But all you gave me caused pain.

One blood
We are all connected in some way.

You got to do what you should
You must do the right thing.

One life
We have one chance to do things right.

With each other
With one another's support and help.

Sisters
Relationships between women.

And my brothers
Relationships with men.

But we're not the same
Despite our similarities, we are all unique in our own ways.

We get to carry each other
We have the privilege of supporting and helping one another.

Carry each other
To take on someone else's burdens.

One (one), one (one), one, one (one)
The repeated 'one' emphasizes the idea of unity.

One love, one life
We have one chance to love and live.
