Putting love first

ONE lyrics by Bono of u2

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
When it’s one need
In the night
It’s one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If 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 tha 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 tor raise the dead
Havew 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
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.

*This song is one of my favorites…it has quite a wise message, and yet there’s sadness…I can remember times I didn’t fully love because of a number of reasons…and because of fear and turning away from love, there is the outpicturing of war and brutality. What I get out of this song is “carry each other” please…if you are lovers, friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, enemies…do it all for love and for inner and outer compassion. Nothing is as pure and uplifting as love…start by loving a cat, a dog, a bird, the sun light, the smile of a child, the beauty in nature…there is so much to love…even your beloved self…I love to laugh at myself in the good times and bad times. I love that I’m laugable and sometimes trip over my own feet or say something spontaneously that makes someone giggle. We have plenty to love about ourselves and others. The days can get difficult, but let’s make a pact not to forget to love and “carry each other” always…
*Thx Sukh for this reminder that u so clearly spoke.
