Cover art for One lyrics by Simple Plan

We are the ones (Whoever the person is) The ones forgotten (Forgotten by their parents) And this time (Now they are older) The future is ours (Their generation is the future) It’s in our hands (Their generation)

We’re the tear in your eyes (Parents cry after the birth of a baby, or after they find out they are having a child) We’re the blood in your veins (Parents are blood relation to their children) We’re the beat of your heart (Children touch the parents heart everyday)

We’re the sweat on your face (As toddlers parents get a workout once they learn how to walk and talk) We’re the ones that you chased (Again after the child learns how to walk parents chase them around the house) We’re the promise that you made (Parents always make a silent promise to themselves about what they will do as a parent)

We’re the voice in head your head (Forced to think about what is best for the children, children are the voice in the back of their head) We’re the lies that you said (This child believes that the parent abandoned them therefore did not keep their promise) We’re the kids that you pushed away (Abandoned their child) We are…

We are the ones (The children) The ones forgotten (Forgotten by their parents) And this time (Now) The future is ours (They are the future for their own generation) It’s in our hands We are one (They are all together)

We’re the pride of your lives (Parents are proud of their children) We’re the light shining deep in your eyes (Parents have a twinkle in their eyes as they watch their children grow) We’re the choice that you made (The parents choose to keep/raise the child) We’re the smile on your face when you sleep at night (Parents often think about their children and smile)

We’re the best thing you had (Tried to be what they wanted) But you left us behind (Still they were pushed away) We’re the kids that you pushed away We are…

We are the ones The ones forgotten And this time The future is ours It’s in our hands We are one One…

We’re the pain that you feel (As a teenager, rebelious they cause the parents pain for neglecting them) We’re the scars that don’t heal (They leave permanent scars with the parents) We’re the tear in your eyes (They are crying because they failed not because they are proud/happy now) We’re the reason you cry (Cause the parents to cry)

We’re the voice in head your head We’re the lies that you said We’re the best think you had but you pushed us away

We are the ones The ones forgotten And this time The future is ours It’s in our hands We are one One…

We are the ones The ones forgotten And we've got Nothing to lose Together we stand up tall (The entire generation is in charge of changing the future) We are one

Basically it is about how a child is raised and how it will affect how they treat the parents later on in life.

*Also there is a few messed up lyrics feet (Should be BEAT) are (Should be WE'VE GOT)
