"The One" lyrics - INDIA.ARIE

Millions live their lives
That Muhammad, Krishna, 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
And still many believe that He is a Her
Does God live in our hearts?
Or is She somewhere out there in the universe?

[Chorus:]
We are a human kind of 7 billion
So many different races and religions
And it all comes down to one

[Bridge 1:]
How far will we 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:]
We are a human kind of 7 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:]
We are a human kind of 7 billion
So many different races and religions
And it all comes down to one

[Bridge 2:]
Whether you are red, brown, yellow, black, or white
A man with a husband, or a woman with a wife
We can debate until the end of time who is wrong and who is right
But we can see ourselves as one
'Cause it all comes down to love

[Chorus:]
We are a human kind of 7 billion
So many different races and religions
And it all comes down to One
