One - U2

Composição: Bono Vox

Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now, you got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life, it's one need in the night.
One love, get to share it
Leaves you baby, you don't care for it.

Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.
Well, it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light.
We're one, but we're not the same.
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.

You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.

One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other: sisters, brothers.
One life, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other.
One, one.

Esta música para mim, representa muito do ideal cristão que devemos perseguir. Em toda a vida quebramos a cabeça sendo muitos com os outros ao invés de sermos um só. Muitas vezes deixamos o individualismo e a intolerância falar mais alto e não damos valor ao simples da vida. Esta música me ensina isso, que quando se ama de verdade, se é um só com aquela pessoa. E a vida assim passa a ser mais simples. Mais fácil de ser vivida. E por isso também é bem melhor quando se ama de verdade...
