Story Behind The Song

I sometimes walk around feeling nervous about the people I meet. I wanted to write about how we're all connected no matter what our circumstances in life.

Song Description

Sometimes it can seem like the suffering people we read about or even see in our neighbourhoods have no connection to ourselves. But I believe that we are actually 'one' . We have hearts. We have feelings. We have our humanity. We have souls.

Lyrics

WE ARE ONE


I opened up the paper

And I stared down at a place

Eight thousand miles away

I recognize a face.

Her eyes were blank, her child was limp.

I did not know her name.

Another war, another day

Another world - the same



Chorus:

But we are one, though we may not know it yet

We are one, even though we've never met.


I walk past the alley

I spot a homeless man

I hope he didn't notice me

He's sorting through some cans

I've seen him lying on the steps



I do not know his name





Another door, another day

Another street - the same.


(Chorus)



Bridge:

Fear keeps me here in the safety of my routine

But my heart is reaching out to all I see. Repeat Bridge at end

Repeated for final end: But my heart is reaching out to all I see


The elevator doors closed

And the both of us looked up

I stole a little glance at you

You sipped your coffee cup

The numbers wink at both of us

I've never asked your name.

Another floor, another day

Another ride - the same.


(Chorus / Bridge)








We Are One
