Live As One is a similar song to Masquerade in that the singer’s commentary about our world poses an alternative view of how things could be, if the world would only embrace love as a way of life.  In ‘Live As One’ the singer’s one, “Who dreams of a world, that is safe and warm, Who dreams of a day, when all children born, Can grow up to be, who they want to be, And the world can live as one…In love.” In ‘Masquerade’ the singer sang, “Let’s build a world based on love, build a world we can be proud of, instead of a masquerade.”  In either case, the singer pleads for the world to open its eyes and wake up to the possibility of building a world focused first and foremost on loving one another – “If everyone, could only see, That love holds the key, to all we do, That love is the way, in all things we do…Then the world could live as one, In love.”

I recorded my original song “Live As One” as a demo on Set 14 in 1997, and it speaks to the world living together as one, “I look around, at the world I see, I don’t believe, it is only me, Who dreams of a world, that is safe and warm, Who dreams of a world, when all children born…” Enjoy! ♡ 🙂 Mark
