One and the Same
Unity in Diversity: Embracing the Message of 'One and the Same' by The War and Treaty
Lyrics
Some say it's worth fighting for
Some believe certain causes are worth fighting for.
But for me at least it's worth dying for
The speaker personally values the cause enough to sacrifice their life for it.
I'll hold my end of the bargain peacefully
The speaker commits to fulfilling their part of an agreement peacefully.
Some say its bout black or white
There are differing opinions on racial issues, represented by "black or white."
Some say one is wrong while the other ain't right
People argue about right and wrong without understanding the full picture.
They judge a book by a cover they won't read
Judgments are made based on superficial impressions without delving deeper.
I ain't claiming to be Jesus
The speaker disclaims being comparable to Jesus.
I believe in miracles
The speaker believes in the possibility of extraordinary events.
I'm shouting out the good news
The speaker shares positive information without imposing their beliefs.
Not preaching your gospel
They are not forcefully advocating for a specific ideology or religion.
Cause when you add it all up
Considering all aspects of a situation.
You'll see how much we'll gain
Highlighting the collective benefits gained when perspectives align.
When we realize we're one and the same
Emphasizing unity and shared identity.
I left the sanctuary
The speaker leaves a place of worship.
Dug up all the hymns they buried
Reviving forgotten songs that hold sentimental value.
I miss my Grandmothers cry
The speaker recalls the emotional impact of their grandmother's prayers.
She knew just how to fight for me
Grandmother fought for the speaker, possibly symbolizing ancestral struggles.
While they were talking she was on her knees
Contrasting active prayer with passive conversation.
Praying to the man up above to save my life
Grandmother sought divine intervention for the speaker's well-being.
I ain't claiming to be Jesus
Reiteration of not claiming divine status.
I believe in miracles
Expressing belief in extraordinary occurrences.
I'm shouting out the good news
Sharing positive news without imposing a specific belief system.
Not preaching your gospel
Reiterating the absence of forceful preaching.
Cause when you add it all up
Considering the cumulative impact of various elements.
You'll see how much we'll gain
Highlighting the collective gains realized through unity.
When we realize we're one and the same
Emphasizing the realization of shared identity.
I ain't claiming to be Jesus
Reiteration of not claiming divine status.
I believe in miracles
Expressing belief in extraordinary occurrences.
I'm shouting out the good news
Sharing positive news without imposing a specific belief system.
Not preaching your gospel
Reiterating the absence of forceful preaching.
Cause when you add it all up
Considering the cumulative impact of various elements.
You'll see how much we'll gain
Highlighting the collective gains realized through unity.
When we realize we're one and the same
Emphasizing the realization of shared identity.
When we realize we're one and the same
Reiterating the realization of shared identity.
When we realize we're one and the same
