One By One - The Free Design

One by one

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

I’ve traveled through a lot of time and space just to share a feeling

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.
