Monologue

The heartbeat for this album is not an album but an anthem
ONE
This music isn't mine it's ours, I was given it
It's a collection of many conversations
It's love
It's unity
Peace Diversity
It's celebration
It's reconciliation
Which only happens when we confront the issues that divide us
We become aware and acknowledge the gap is everywhere
Racially, culturally and economically
So where do we go from here
We start by being accountable then move into action
Seeking to understand and get close
Like putting a hand out not as a hand out but a hand out as a friend
This is for ONE race, ONE life and ONE body
ONE race
See we see color and that's a good thing
Each differently made beautifully, wonderfully in the image of God
Masterpiece ONE of ONE, making ONE race the human race - well done, wow
Now ONE life
ONE, see it's just a number unless it's yours
Each person priceless with a story
Therefore ONE is the biggest number
ONE
The ONE is a single mom providing
ONE is the kid forced into war
ONE is a girl being trafficked and wants out
ONE is the kid bullied being made fun of
ONE can't cope and turns to drugs
ONE is the child dreaming to beat the odds, and they will
The ONE just got bombed at their home, that they built
Our perspective has to be local and at the same time zoom out across the world - global
And here we are - ONE body, cause we're family right
And that begins with the household of God, if we don't get this right who will
We gotta start somewhere, how about right here right now
We got more in common than against
This the type of love is stronger than the bullets of tanks
More authority than the highest of ranks
And larger currency than a mountain of banks
Then just maybe we can get to the solution that we all want
Freedom - is found in ONE person, Jesus
So tell everyone they're invited to come
We are better in this together - you and I is us
We are ONE

We are ONE
We are ONE
We are ONE
We are ONE
