“Unity” is about people coming together and finding the best in each other, rather than focusing on the worst, for the better of the human species. The song was the second single released from Amaryllis and peaked at #1 on Billboard’s U.S. Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.
In this track-by-track breakdo...
[Verse 1]
I found a note with your name and a picture of us
Even though it was framed and covered in dust
It’s the map in my mind that sends me on my way
They say it’s never too late to stop being afraid
And there is no one else here, so, why should I wait?
And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade
[Pre-Chorus]
So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”
[Chorus]
Put your hands in the air if you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark, let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind
[Post-Chorus]
If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air one more time
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen a million miles met a million faces
Took all I knew to reach all these places
And I’d do it again if it brings me back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”
[Chorus]
Put your hands in the air if you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark, let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind
[Post-Chorus]
If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air one more time
[Bridge]
Put your hands in the air
[Chorus]
Put your hands in the air if you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark, let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind
[Post-Chorus]
If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air one more time
Put your hands in the air one more time
