lyrics

One

Most of us live very phony lives
We work boring jobs and fake husbands and wives
Working nine to five to buy material things
Like cars and clothes and diamond rings

We easily lose sight of what is actually real
Numb to the feelings that we actually feel
Lose touch with our surrounding environments
And instead see the world in terms of dollars and cents

It’s easy to get caught up in your own little mind
And forget that all life is completely entwined
Cause every blade of grass and all of mankind
Will add up to One when they’re all combined

So love your neighbors even if they’re different than you
Other races, religions, and other species too
And just because you and another person don’t agree
Doesn’t make you holier than he or she

Just follow these rules for a blessed life
Don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t cheat on your wife
Don’t value an object over something that’s living
Respect everybody and always be forgiving

Cause the Universe is huge and we’re so small
Just a part of the one that encompasses all
So let go of your hatred, fill your heart with love
For all of us below there is One above

This is a song for God
Adonai Elohaynu, Adonoi Echad
The Lord is God, the Lord is One
Everything from a particle of dust to the sun

One is the darkness One is the light
One is the day, and One is the night
One is the land, One is the ocean
One is stillness, and One is motion

One is resistance, One is compliance
One is religion, One is science
One is a bird, One is a tree
One is in you, and One is in me

One is a Muslim, One is a Jew
One is a Christian, and a Hindu
One is an atheist, One is a Buddhist
One is an anarchist, One is a nudist

One is what you do, One is what you think
One is what you eat, One is what you drink
One is in your lungs every time you take a breath
One is all life, and One is all death

One is what you know, One is a surprise
One is invisible in front of your eyes
One is music, film, theatre, and art
One is the end, One is the start

This is a song for God
Adonai Elohaynu, Adonoi Echad
The Lord is God, the Lord is One
Everything from a particle of dust to the sun
