I’m a medically retired vet from the US. Take a second to see how this song relates to those we leave behind on deployment. This song relates to the torture of not knowing if they'll come home, the loneliness, the burden of maintaining the home.
Remember those deployed, but more than that... remember the families they leave behind. They need support, so even the kindness of mowing their lawn, taking out their trash can be the ONE thing they need at that moment.
This tune breaks my heart every time I hear it. Released just a few months after losing my childhood sweetheart who I never saw again. 30 years on and the pain is still so real and the truth is I still love that girl.
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
When 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 be 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...life
We are "one" planet earth, in the midst of a pandemic that not everyone will survive. Let's live like brothers and sisters regardless of creed or color.
This is an incredible song. My husband and I divorced 15 years ago but always loved each other deeply. We stayed close and always depended on the other for certain thing. Our bond was unbearable. We divorced because a one time marital affair. I wish I could have forgiven but I didn’t. The pain was too much. This song tells us that we are ONE and will always be together. Remarried March 11, 2020. We will continue to love. But all the years we missed !
