Lyrics for Song: One
Lyrics for Album: Songversation [2013]
Verse 1:
Billions live their lives
Now Muhammad, Krishna, or the Buddha are the way.
Still some believe it's right to say in the name of Jesus when you pray.
Chorus:
We are a human kind of 7 billion
so many different races and religions
And it all comes down to one
Verse: 2
Some say God's a him
Still many believe that He is a Her
Does God Live in our hearts?
Or is She somewhere out there in the universe.
(Chorus:)
Verse 3:
How far will have to go before we learn the lesson?
Gandhi, was a Hindu
Martin Luther King, a Christian
God is a religion, they knew love was the vision
And it all comes down to one.
Verse 4:
Is there no God at all?
Or a pantheon of gods up in the sky?
We can heal our broken hearts
If we give up the desire to be right.
We are a human kind of seven billion
So many different races and religions
and we all want the same things
Health, Love, Prosperity and Peace
Tolerance is the seed
And the gift of pure acceptance is the tree
(Chorus:)
Verse 5:
Whether you are red, brown, yellow, black, or white
Man with a husband, or a woman with a wife
We can debate until the end of time who's wrong and who is right
or we can see ourselves as one
Cause it all comes down to love.
(Chorus:)
