-Lyrics-
Affirmative may be justified
Take from one give to another
The goal is to be unified
Take my hand be my brother
The payment silenced the masses
Sanctified by opression
Unity took a back seat
Sliding further in regression
One
The only way is one
I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world
I feel violent I feel alone
Don't try to change my mind
Society blind by color
Why hold down one to raise another
Dicrimination now on both sides
Seeds of hate blossom further
The world is heading for mutiny
When all we wnt is unity
We may rise and fall, but in the end
We meet our fate together
One
The only way is one
I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world
I feel violent I feel alone
Don't try to change my mind
