BLACK EYED PEAS - Union lyrics

rate me

[Chorus]

(One for all, one for all)

(It's all it's all for one)

Let's start a union, calling every human

It's one for all and all for one

Let's live in unison, calling every citizen

It's one for all and all for one

We don't want war- can't take no more

It's drastic time for sure

We need an antidote and a cure

Coz do you really think Mohammed got a problem with Jehovah

We don't want war – imagine if any prophet was alive

In current days amongst you and I

You think they'd view life like you and I do

Or would they sit and contemplate on why

Do we live this way, act and behave this way

We still live in primitive today

Coz the peace in the destination of war can't be the way

There's no way, so people just be a woman, be a man

Realize that you can't change the world by changing yourself

And understand that we're all just the same

So when I count to three let's change

[Chorus]

Got no time for grand philosophy

I barely keep my head above the tide

I got this mortgage, got three kids at school

What you're saying is the truth, but really troubles me inside

I'd change the world if I could change my mind

If I could live beyond my fears

Exchanging unity for all my insecurity

Exchanging laughter for my tears

[Chorus]

I don't know, y'all, we in a real deposition

In the midst of all this negative condition

Divided by beliefs, different sink and religion

Why do we keep missing the point in our mission?

Why do we keep killing each other, what's the reason?

God made us all equal in his vision

I wish that I could make music as a religion

Then we could harmonise together in this mission

Listen, I know it's really hard to make changes

But two of us could help rearrange this curse

Utilising all the power in our voices

Together we will unite and make the right choice

And fight for education, save the next generation

Come together as one

I don't understand why it's never been done

So let's change on the count of one

It takes one, just one

And then one follows the other one

And then another follows the other one

Next thing you know you got a billion

People doing some wonderful things

People doing some powerful things

Let's change and do some powerful things

Unity could be a wonderful thing

[Chorus]
