He stands alone outside the blooming yards
|
All is calm there on the street
|
The shadows pass him hung right over
|
The pain on his face he knew he'd keep...
|
His hair is long, and it's twisted, it's twisted
|
Around the smile spread cheek to cheek
|
Another child, another soul, grabs a hold
|
To the metal that will end his misery...
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
One by one
|
We stand beneath the sun
|
With arms high open wide
|
Two by two
|
He's getting you
|
To watch him as he leaves this life he knew
|
|
How much anger is set aside
|
As each one of us cries
|
Red light they come and they take him away
|
In the thoughts, he'll be better, some day...
|
Tied tight, can't see out your eyes
|
That he's sure to shine, sure to shine
|
In this deep dark, played out, reality show
|
So, who's the man, with the plan,
|
eating up all that he can?
|
Don't you see, don't you see...
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Do you ever think that things are meant to be?
|
I know we all have our reasons why
|
And now the power of one human being
|
Has gone and changed so many lives...
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
One by one
|
We start to come undone...
|
Two by two
|
He's getting through to you...
|
One by one we stand, we stand, we stand, over,
|
over, you...
|
|
