Flobots - One Love lyrics

I just wanna say
Welcome to the part of the show
Where the base drum hit's hard and slow
Your face becomes aware that
I'm starting to flow
And it sounds like a song
That you already know

You might have heard it
At Eleventh and Filmore
A sort biggish building with
A littlish billboard
But what's everybody staying still 4
3, 2, 1 If you're happy, Gilmore
Then act like you're knowing it clap
And move like you're in a
Kayak and you're rowing it
And if you don't wanna clap then snap
Whatever floats your boat just go with it

Cause we're hoping this'll get you open


It's a bit of spoken word a little joking
Heard hear and there, lemme clear the air
This is not a competition, Lord
Hear my prayer
So if anybody listening is feeling scared
We wanna make your spirit aware that
You are not alone you are not alone

I said you are not alone
You don't have to do this on your own
One Love (Agape) One Love (Agape)
Solo it can feel like we're coming apart
Together we're much more than the
Sum of our parts
One Love (Agape) One love (Agape)

Some of out parts are just about busting
Some of our parts are rusty but these
Lips voice sentiments begun in our hearts and
Heal wounds with the songs that
Are sung in the dark
So if you're feeling like a Pimp take
A moment just to hold it off
My role model will not only
Brush your shoulders off but wash your feet
Give his life as the soldiers watch
And forgive his torturers below the cross
So when you're slapped and you're
Told to fight back
And they taunt you over the
Phone to incite smack
Get back! Get back in the zone despite that
And rely on the strength
That the bonified have
But, if you act like you know me like that
Call me cheesy like macaroni
I might snap snap
But only like that and get on
The microphone and recite raps

You are not alone
You don't have to do this on your own
One Love (Agape) One Love (Agape)
Solo it can feel like we're coming apart
Together we're much more than the
Sum of our parts
One Love (Agape) One love (Agape)

You are not alone
You don't have to do this on your own
You won't have to prove yourself
To get through this
Don't have to lose yourself to this music
In fact you might find yourself
In a room full of strangers trying to help
In a flashback to the last time you felt
The presence of something divine, well
This is Hip-Hop it's not just
For profit anymore never was
Its too easy to live your life waiting for
Change to arrive if it ever does
It will come from a source thats infinite
Not from a middle man
You can't measure it's force but you've
Got a sense of it and it's bigger than
Hip-hop, Hip-hop, Hip-hop, hip
It's greater than us, them
Us, them, us, them, us
Much larger than life, death
Life, death, life, death, life
Everybody One love, One love, One love
Because

You are not alone
You don't have to do this on your own
One Love (Agape) One Love (Agape)
Solo it can feel like we're coming apart
Together we're much more than the
Sum of our parts
One Love (Agape) One love (Agape)
I said You are not alone
You don't have to do this on your own
One Love (Agape) One Love (Agape)
Solo it can feel like we're coming apart
Together we're much more than the
Sum of our parts
One Love (Agape) One love (Agape)
We are not alone
We don't have to do this on our own
One Love (Agape) One Love (Agape)
Solo it can feel like we're coming apart
Together we're much more than the
Sum of our parts
One Love (Agape) One love (Agape)
