One By One Lyrics - The Calling

He stands alone outside the blooming yard 

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 

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, fucked up, 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 

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 

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 

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 

One by one 

We start to come, ohh yea 

Two by two 

He's getting through to, ohh 

One by one we stand, we stand 

Yea we stand, over, over, you
