Yeah, one love, listen to the words I say
Jah bless, rise up, keep the vibes today
I see the house is empty, the hearth is cold tonight
You’re running through the shadows, chasing what ain't right
Your mother tells you stories of how a home should stand
But you’re out there in the darkness, losing sight of the plan
Respect the man who works, who keeps the doors shut tight
If he stays out all night, maybe you should think of light
Don’t follow down the path where the spirits go astray
There’s a lesson in the silence if you listen what they say
Oh, keep the house, keep the love, keep it true
There’s a spirit in the union that is waiting there for you
Respect the man, respect the bond, let the truth be told
One love is the story, let the beauty now unfold
Yeah, one love, one heart, let it grow
I see a man arrive, but the kitchen has no bread
The wife is out wandering, leaving words unsaid
They meet upon the road, paths crossing in the mist
But the marriage is a memory, a ghost upon the list
Why chase the fleeting shadows when the roots are in the ground?
If you want the peace of mind, it’s in the home to be found
Don’t look into the distance, don’t look across the sea
The love you’re searching for is right where you should be
Oh, keep the house, keep the love, keep it true
There’s a spirit in the union that is waiting there for you
Respect the man, respect the bond, let the truth be told
One love is the story, let the beauty now unfold
Yeah, one love, one heart, let it grow
Ask yourself the question, as you lay your head to rest
Are you giving all your energy to pass the final test?
One day the truth will rise, just like the morning sun
Vote for the higher power, for the work that must be done
Jah bless, yeah, see it for yourself
You claim you had the vision, you claimed you had the way
But talk is only silver when you’re hiding from the day
If you want the blessing, then you have to stand your ground
Keep the house together, let the harmony be found
Easy now, steady now, learn to let it be
Love is not a burden, it is meant to set us free
Oh, keep the house, keep the love, keep it true
There’s a spirit in the union that is waiting there for you
Respect the man, respect the bond, let the truth be told
One love is the story, let the beauty now unfold
Yeah, one love, one heart, let it grow
Yeah, one love, one heart, let it grow
Respect the home, let the light show the way
Jah bless, until the end of time
One love, one love.
