Lyrics:

One love! one heart! Lets get together and feel all right. Hear the children cryin (one love!); Hear the children cryin (one heart!), Sayin: give thanks and praise to the lord and I will feel all right; Sayin: lets get together and feel all right. wo wo-wo wo-wo!

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love!); There is one question Id really love to ask (one heart!): Is there a place for the hopeless sinner, Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One love! what about the one heart? one heart! What about - ? lets get together and feel all right As it was in the beginning (one love!); So shall it be in the end (one heart!), All right! Give thanks and praise to the lord and I will feel all right; Lets get together and feel all right. One more thing!

Lets get together to fight this holy armagiddyon (one love!), So when the man comes there will be no, no doom (one song!). Have pity on those whose chances grows tinner; There aint no hiding place from the father of creation.

Sayin: one love! what about the one heart? (one heart!) What about the - ? lets get together and feel all right. Im pleadin to mankind! (one love!); Oh, lord! (one heart) wo-ooh!

Give thanks and praise to the lord and I will feel all right; Lets get together and feel all right. Give thanks and praise to the lord and I will feel all right; Lets get together and feel all right. /fadeout/
