One Love

Old religions, New generations
Caught in a struggle about a righteous way
Can’t see the forest for all the frustrations
So many lyin’, so many dyin’ … but only one love

One love, might make a difference
Might take the walls, and tear them down
One light, might keep on shining
If we take one love and we spread it around

It’s amazing to me that so many people not living in the midst of Christendom can see so clearly what it takes in this world. How is it that Hootie and the Blowfish can write such piercing lyrics that seemingly come straight out of the Bible? While we are all pointing fingers and trying to figure out who’s got it right, all the people on the outside looking in are just shaking their heads at us and saying, “when are they going to get it?” I’m tempted to say that more non-Christians “get it” than Christians. It’s all about love. One love.
