Hunger in the city, people holding signs Sayin' "I will work for food" I tell you brother, these are troubled times Children having babies, families in the street But we close our eyes, so we don't see Poverty is prison, living it, a crime And the homeless take their battered souls To the shelter for the night We all need each other, don't you see We need one trust in one another We've got just us (There ain't nobody else) We're in this together Just this one time, open your heart and your mind If you look beyond yourself, then you'll find One love, one understanding For the world that lies outside of your front door Oh, one love And I know that it can be Everything we dream of Perfectly that one and only love One and only Raise your hands to heaven, peace is in the plan And if anyone can make it happen baby, I believe we can I promise you the future, but there's no guarantee We all need each other, don't you see We need one trust in one another We've got just us (There ain't nobody else) We're in this together Just this one time, open your heart and your mind If you look beyond yourself, then you'll find One love, one sole intention And the common sense to know when it feels right Oh, one love in one great big picture It's everything we've wanted Gotta be the one and only love That's what we need just to keep from falling apart Whatever the problems, I know we can solve 'em And if it takes my lifetime I'll be searching 'til I find that one One love, one understanding For the world that lies outside of our front door Oh, one love And I know that it can be Everything we dream of Perfectly that one and only love Love in your heart to stop falling apart We need one love One love One Love
