One Love! One Love! What about the one heart? Sayin': One Love!
One Heart! One Heart! What about the One Heart?
Let's get together and feel all right. What about? (One Heart! )
Hear the children cryin' Let's get together and feel all right What about the?
(One Love! ); As it was in the beginning Let's get together and feel all right.
Hear the children cryin' (One Love! ); I'm pleadin' to mankind!
(One Heart! ), So shall it be in the end (One Love! );
Sayin': give thanks and praise (One Heart! ), Oh, Lord!
To the Lord and I will feel all right; All right! (One Heart)
Sayin': let's get together Give thanks and praise to the Lord Wo-ooh!
And feel all right. And I will feel all right;
Wo wo-wo wo-wo! Let's get together Give thanks and praise to the Lord
And feel all right. And I will feel all right;
Let them all pass all their dirty One more thing! Let's get together and feel all right.
Remarks (One Love! ); Give thanks and praise to the Lord
There is one question Let's get together to fight And I will feel all right;
I'd really love to ask (One Heart! ): This Holy Armagiddyon (One Love! ), Let's get together and feel all right.
Is there a place for the hopeless So when the Man comes there will be
sinner, no,
Who has hurt all mankind just No doom (One Song! ).
To save his own beliefs? Have pity on those whose
Chances grows t'inner;
There ain't no hiding place
From the Father of Creation.
