Lyric discussion by pablo 

it's actually not about love it's about a brotherhood of men, and stuff like that, i heard them say that in an interview

Bono mentioned during the 2010 U2 concert in LA that this song is about the people of the world - despite all of our differences and all the ways we have hurt each other, we must find a way to come together, and accept, love, and help ("carry") each other through all of our troubles.

One life, With each other, Sisters, Brothers One life, But we're not the same We get to carry each other, Carry each other

Though from the lyrics, it may also seem that this song is about a broken relationship.

@pablo Yes, on a February 14, I heard this one on the radio, just after Lennon\'s "Imagine", and both were mislabeled as Valentine Day songs. Brotherhood songs, I do agree with Bono Vox. So is Bob Marley\'s "One Love/People Get Ready".
