“Undivided” Lyrics

That was my brother lost in the rubble 


That was my sister lost in the crush 
That was our mothers, those were our children 
That was our fathers, that was each one of us 
A million prayers to God above 
A million tears make an ocean of

[Chorus:] 
One for love 
One for truth 
One for me, one for you

I found spirit, they couldn't ruin it 


I found courage in the smoke and dust 
I found faith in the songs you silenced 
Deep down it's ringing out in each of us 
Yeah... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus:] 
One for love 
One for truth 
One for me, one for you

Where we once were divided, now we stand united 


We stand as one... undivided. 
How many hands? How many hearts? 
How many dreams been torn apart? 
Enough, enough... the time has come to rise back as

[Chorus:] 
One for love 
One for truth 
One for me, one for you

Where we once were divided now we stand united 


We stand as one... undivided.

Undivided. 
Undivided.

One for love 


One for truth 
One for me, one for you 
Where we once were divided, now we stand united 
We stand as one... undivided.

The song “Undivided” was released by Bon Jovi in the 2002 album Bounce. Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Billy Falcon,
it is one of the more memorable tracks on the album, describing how the events of September 11, 2001 unified the United States. In
the aftermath of the tragedy of 9/11, Bon Jovi opted to focus much of Bounce on this subject. “Undivided” was the song that most
directly referenced 9/11 and its repercussions that at least temporarily unified the stunned nation. Jon Bon Jovi described the song
as universally relatable, given that thousands had been injured or killed and many more had been affected on September 11, 2001.
