Calling - One By One lyrics

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...
