Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And feel the wind revive you
Your heart will catch its breath again
Youre on your own
No one to call for rescue
Maybe that show its always been
Take it slow
Step by step
One by one
Take your time
Dont fall down
Take each day
One by one
Even though you think youre lost
Inside there is a light to guide you
Dont get hurt
Dont fall down
Take each step
One by o.ne
When days like this
Throw up a wall of sadness
And youre too tired too tired to climb
Oooh
They will all fall own be patie.e.e.e.nt
Take it slow
Learn to run
Step by step
One by one
Take your time
Dont fall down
Take each day
One by one
Even though you think youre lost
Inside there is a light to guide you
Dont get hurt
Dont fall down
Take each step
One by o.ne
Take it slow
Learn to run
Step by step
One by one
Take your time
Dont fall down
Take each day
One by one
Even though you think youre lost
Inside there is a light to guide you

The path I just took to accidentally discover this song is WILD. I was listening on Spotify to the It's a Sin cover by Elton John, I looked up the original, stumbled upon Rickard's cover of the song, found One by One, thought it sounded like a eurovision song, looked it up on YouTube and here I am.

Its six years since this song came out! My God, the time is crazy... Greetings from Romania!
@calvininsf
Elize, Rickard - please, please come back. Please don't be discouraged by the fact that the Swedish public weren't able to recognize that this should've won Melodifestivalen; it won't be the same next year without you. :(
@Lorypowa
How is it possible they haven't even reached the finals?
@doriennegrech5660
Lorypowa Something in the application they were using for voting crashed, and instead of two rounds of voting, they only count one.... in reality, this song actually came first in the round thrashing even Saade
@krazykid421
Elize's accent and overall voice are the two best things to happen to my ears.
@dustinchisam79
