Your laugh comes through the soft breeze
Your touch through the whistle of the trees
Itβs you, because together we are one
The stars, the sand, and the sun
At rest is when we are at ease
Living presently in our memories,
It’s us, because together we are one
Afar, beyond, among
Itβs this familiar feeling
Something so freeing, itβs healing
Itβs me, because together we are one
In the ups, in the downs, in every stun
Revel in reliving what’s been seen
No longer concealed by glass ceilings
Itβs we, because together we are one
Together this race we run
Can I go back to the moment we first met?
Life became the ultimate dream
Itβs you and me, because together we are one
A knowing inside that will forever gleam

This is so nostalgic and sweet π I love the song “We Are One” by Maze, it’s a great tune about why we’re so hard on the one we love the most because “we are one” π
