Be One

VERSI I
The purpose of this melody
is so all people will dwell in peace.
The reason for this stellar beat -
to make a call for unity.

The purpose of this melody
is so all people will dwell in peace.
The reason for this stellar beat,
to see the same color when we bleed.

CHORUS
(Can we all learn?)
They say that we’re a nation built upon denominations
that recognize the principles of Christ.
(Can we all learn?)
But really we’re a nation made up fabrications
That polarized our world and paid the price.
(“Can we all learn”)

I don't need to hear "that line about" justice rolling
down a mountain like a mighty stream,
(Can we all love?!)
When I see men dying and their children crying
while they struggle for the right to breathe.
If we heard God’s voice would we know it?



CHORUS:
Jesus prayed, “Father, please make them one;
make them one.”
Aaah aah aah aaah aah we must be one;
We must be one.

Chant:
“Where there is one, it’s ev-eryone.”
We have no duty to allow acquiescence
to injustice:
It’s our persistence
in resistance
to the cruelty of non-
coexistence -
that changes the trajectory of logistics.


CHORUS:
Jesus prayed, “Father, please make them one;
make them one.”
Ahhh, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah,
Aaah, We must be one.

BACK TO BEGINNING


VAMP

Can we be ONE in our homes?
Can we be ONE in the street?
Can we be ONE in the government?
Can we be ONE when we meet?

Can we be ONE in Christ?
Can we be ONE joy?
Can we be ONE in the Truth?
Can we be ONE when we love?

Repeat
