Lyrics by Paul David Hewson and Music by Paul David Hewson, David Howell Evan, Adam Charles Clayton, Laurence Joseph Mullen Jr.

Is it getting better,
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you,
Now you got someone to blame?

Chorus:
     You say: one love, one life,
     When it’s one need in the night.
     One love,
     We get to share 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.

Chorus:
     Well, it’s too late
     Tonight
     To drag the 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 to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?

Chorus:
     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.
     Well, 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.

Chorus:
     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.
