About the song
Bryan Adams & Michael Kamen wrote the song in the studio while "Please Forgive Me" was being mixed. Michael suggested that there should be three vocalists.
Bryan's first phone call was to Sting, who agreed to do the song without having heard it. When he finally heard the song he called Bryan back, saying that he wants to do it even more now, as the song is beautiful.
Bryan's first choice for the third singer was Rod Stewart, although he knew that Rod wasn't interested in doing film work. However he met Rod's manager who played the song to Rod - who immediately agreed to join the trio.
Bryan Adams recorded with Sting (bass / vocals) in London in mid-October 1993 before flying to Los Angeles to record the parts with Rod Stewart. Bryan Adams' vocals were added at Bryan's house in West Vancouver, where the track was also mixed.
The video was shot at the Ritz Theatre in Elizabeth, NJ, USA on 1993-11-04.

Lyrics
When it's love you give (I'll be a man of good faith.) Then in love you live. (I'll make a stand. I won't break.) I'll be the rock you can build on, Be there when you're old, To have and to hold. When there's love inside (I swear I'll always be strong.) Then there's a reason why. (I'll prove to you we belong.) I'll be the wall that protects you From the wind and the rain, From the hurt and pain. Let's make it all for one and all for love. Let the one you hold be the one you want, The one you need, 'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all. When there's someone that should know Then just let your feelings show And make it all for one and all for love. When it's love you make (I'll be the fire in your night.) Then it's love you take. (I will defend, I will fight.) I'll be there when you need me. When honor's at stake, This vow I will make: That it's all for one and all for love. Let the one be the one you want, The one you need, 'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all. When there's someone that should know Then just let your feelings show And make it all for one and all for love. Don't lay our love to rest 'Cause we could stand up to you test. We got everything and more than we had planned, More than the rivers that run the land. We've got it all in our hands. Now it's all for one and all for love. (It's all for love.) Let the one you hold be the one you want, The one you need, 'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all. (It's one for all.) When there's someone that should know Then just let your feelings show. When there's someone that you want, When there's someone that you need Let's make it all, all for one and all for love
