One

Is it getting better?

Or do you feel the same?

Will it make it easier on you now

You got someone to blame?

You say one love, one life

It's one need in the night

One love, we get to share it

Leaves you, baby, if you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?

Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?

You act like you never had love

And you want me to go without

Well, it's too late, tonight

To drag the past out into the light

We're one, but we're not the same

We get to carry each other, carry each other

One

Have you come here for forgiveness?

Have you come to raise the dead?

Have you come here to play Jesus

to the lepers in your head?

Did I ask too much, more than a lot?

You gave me nothing, now it's all I got

We're one, but we're not the same

Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again

You say

Love is a temple, love a higher law

Love is a temple, love the higher law

You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl

And I can't keep holding on to what you got

When all you got is hurt

One love, one blood

One life you got to do what you should

One life with each other: sisters, brothers

One life, but we're not the same

We get to carry each other, carry each other

One! One!
