Greg Sczebel - One By One lyrics

©2007 Greg Sczebel/Soultone Publishing (SOCAN)

On this planet I've been planted

But at times I feel more stranded

'Cause the world is not the place of my childhood

Daddies leavin,' babies dyin'

Lovers cheatin,' brothers lyin'

Truth is we don't love like we should

So let's start with the man in the mirror - I know what's in my heart

We can't build a bridge before the de-construction starts

CHORUS:

Let's break it down one by one

'Cause a change has got to come

Tear down the walls with love this time

We've witnessed the damage done

But our words are not enough

No, nothing's gonna change until we try

One by one

Vs2:

Well I know this thing for certain

It's gonna take some workin'

But the human heart was made to weather change

I'm not talking about a trend here

Not some fashionably shed tear

No, it's got to be the blood within our veins

So start with the man in the mirror - You know what's in your heart

We can't change the world unless we all be taking part

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Love and hate can't co-exist

Open your heart, put down your fist

It's time we love our neighbor like we love ourselves

This one thing I know is true

The change must start in me and you this time

Yeah that's right

So let's break it down one by one
