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
