Lyrics One Love/ People Get Ready

One Love is an iconic song by Bob Marley that speaks about love and unity. The song was influenced by an earlier Marley song, One Love/People Get Ready, which includes direct lines from Curtis Mayfields gospel hymn People Get Ready. It was originally released in 1977 on Bob Marley & The Wailers Exodus album, and has since been re-released on other albums, becoming one of Marleys most famous songs.

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One love)
Hear the children crying (One heart)
Sayin', "Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
Sayin', "Let's get together and feel all right." (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own? (Believe me)

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One love)
So shall it be in the end (One heart)
Alright, give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right (One more thing)

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One love)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One song)
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin', One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleading to mankind (One love)
Oh, Lord (One heart) Whoa
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right
(Repeat and fade out)
