One By One
Free Design Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People come
Give your name
Lose your pain
Sing together
Come to me gently
For I want you to join me for a song or two
True songs are often sad these days and yet I'll sing for you
Voices raised in song are meant for healing
The world in pain is more than I can deal with
But people one by one is a different thing
Songs are all I have to try to heal with
Thoughts of peace and love I'll truly sing
One by one
People come
Give your name
Lose your pain
Sing together
Ever since I was born, just like you I want to live, that's all
Live on my own in a world away from hatred
Wars and greed and guns won't feed the hungry children all
Look what is happening to the life that we call sacred
The world in pain is more than I can deal with
But people one by one is a different thing
Songs are all I have to try to heal with
Thoughts of peace and love I'll truly sing
One by one
People come
Give your name
Lose your pain
Sing together
