One

Billions live their lives Now

Muhammad, Krisha, or the Buddha are the way.

Still some believe it's right to say

In the name of Jesus when you pray.

[Chorus:]

We are a human kind of 7 billion

So many different races and religions

And it all comes down to one

Some say God's a him

Still many believe that He is a Her

Does God Live in our hearts?

Or is She somewhere out there in the universe.

[Chorus]

How far will have to go before we learn the lesson?

Gandhi, was a Hindu

Martin Luther King, a Christian

Regardless of religion, they knew love was the mission

And it all comes down to one.

Is there no God at all?

Or a pantheon of gods up in the sky

We can heal our broken hearts

If we give up the desire to be right.

[Chorus]

How far will have to go before we learn the lesson?

Gandhi, was a Hindu Martin Luther King, a Christian

Regardless of religion, they knew love was the mission

And it all comes down to one.

We are a human kind of seven billion

So many different races and religions

And we all want the same things

Health, Love, Prosperity and Peace Tolerance is the seed

And the gift of pure acceptance is the tree

[Chorus]

Whether you are red, brown, yellow, black, or white

Man with a husband, or a woman with a wife

We can debate until the end of time who is wrong or right

Or we can see ourselves as one

Cause it all comes down to love.
