One (Live from Paris)

Ce soir, tonight we remember the people who live
With this shocking violence every single day
Those who are forced to flee their homes in Kobane
And Damascus and Beirut, we think of them in San Bernadino
And I know this may be difficult, we should also think
Of the families of the terrorists who have lost their loved ones
To an ideology which is a perversion of the beautiful
Religion of Islam, which as I understand it, means surrender
Surrender to God

Is it getting better?
…

We get to carry each other, carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?

Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing now it’s all I got
We’re one, but we’re not the same
Well, we hurt each other then we do it again

… then you make me crawl
I can’t be holding on to what you got
When all you got is hurt

One life with each other
Sister… brother
One life but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One…

No them there’s only us
No them there’s only us
No them there’s only us
No them there’s only us
Ooo…
