Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One love)
Hear the children crying (One heart)
Sayin', "Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
Sayin', "Let's get together and feel all right."
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me
One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One love)
So shall it be in the end (One heart)
Alright, "Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
"Let's get together and feel all right."
One more thing
Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One love)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One song)
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation
Sayin', "One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right."
I'm pleading to mankind (One love)
Oh, Lord (One heart) Whoa.
"Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
Let's get together and feel all right.

Wait for us up there our friend.
"one" love. says the guy who had 11 children with 10 different women.
rated 10 btw.
Actually 8 women, though I doubt he was counting. Two others have claims. I do think his accountants knew the number as they rolled out the checks each month.....
It has been said that Bob Marley wrote one song and recorded it 1500 times.
Yet more evidence.
You clearly need to better explore Marley's library of music.
rated 10 btw.
Wrong. It is completely his fault. For being a complete and utter badass.
ya got that wrong. Peter Tosh was the bad ass. Marley was the eee yo yo guy
do any of us need to hear this again?
yes, absolutely; all of humanity needs to hear this again and again!! LLRP
10.
There are far better songs in his discography that rarely get airplay, and the ones that get play have been plaaaayyed, but this gets a 10 for the fact you can go anywhere in the world and people of all ages know this song. Its transcended music in a way and it makes most people happy when it's played.
It was written during the '76 elections in Jamaica when party violence between the JLP and PNP exploded as a result of the cold war divisions of democracy and socialism, spreading from the emergent political garrison communities into middle class areas at the height of the cold war. My parents, like many of their generation fled from Jamaica to take up residence abroad. This song was partially a kind of response to what was going on then.
Try Ride Natty Ride
or
Babylon System
to get a sense of his deeper roots work,
and as always
Big up Jamaica!
This may not be the product of a lyrical genuis or a master composer but it sure makes me happy when I hear it.
...and just read and quoted by the infamous Bill himself!! Good on ya!!
Yet more evidence.
Bullshit. Bet they say that about your posts though.
No need to qualify: Bob Marley was unquestionably a genius. I'm glad this makes you happy, as it does me.
Yet more evidence.
Yeah, it's called "style". What do you think Bob Dylan did? AC/DC? Ramones? Bach?! And thousands of others, actually!
Yet more evidence.
How much wonderful music he would have produced if not taken so early?
yep
lame, lackluster, regimented & pallid
this ones strictly for the budget cruise
Raise those hands with me!
Wonderful song.
I like Bob Marley. I hear him on every radio station and everywhere I go, but that is not his fault. 8

Whateva
I never heard a song on RP that deserved a 1. Nothing less than a 5 or 6 at least. That is why this station is so awesome. This ones a 10!
Love ya Bob, really do. But JAH RHASTA this is too much!
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me
I'm guessing this means that if you speak against us (but who's us?), you're hopeless and doomed and hurting all mankind (with the possible exception of others like you) - but would like to hear any other interpretation. A nice song, but it's always curious that the response of enthusiasts to any questioning of this or any other reggae ballad is such a wall of flame. Love, peace and death to the infidels? Runs my hypocrisy meter off the scale. I do appreciate the concept of One Love, One Heart (as I understand it) - it's a worthy goal for the inhabitants of a planet.

Ok, I actually give it an 8, but that's a far cry from a 1. I guess it takes all kinds though...
