Lyrics

[00:45.39] He stands alone outside the blooming yards
[00:49.68] All is calm there on the street
[00:55.40] The shadows pass him hung right over
[01:00.77] The pain on his face he knew he'd keep...
[01:06.83] His hair is long, and it's twisted, it's twisted
[01:11.85] Around the smile spread cheek to cheek
[01:17.25] Another child, another soul, grabs a hold
[01:22.32] To the metal that will end his misery...
[01:28.51] One by one
[01:30.61] We stand beneath the sun
[01:34.41] With arms high open wide
[01:38.85] Two by two
[01:41.15] He's getting you
[01:43.89] To watch him as he leaves this life he knew
[01:55.80] How much anger is set aside
[02:01.16] As each one of us cries
[02:06.71] Red light they.e and they take him away
[02:11.84] In the thoughts, he'll be better, some day...
[02:17.52] Tied tight, can't see out your eyes
[02:20.10] That he's sure to shine, sure to shine
[02:23.05] In this deep dark, fucked up, played out, reality show
[02:28.31] So, who's the man, with the plan,
[02:31.98] eating up all that he can?
[02:34.54] Don't you see, don't you see...
[02:39.81] One by one
[02:41.62] We stand beneath the sun
[02:46.04] With arms high open wide
[02:50.42] Two by two
[02:52.90] He's getting you
[02:55.48] To watch him as he leaves this life he kne
[03:26.98] Do you ever think that things are meant to be?
[03:31.40] I know we all have our reasons why
[03:38.57] And now the power of one human being
[03:43.46] Has gone and changed so many lives...
[03:48.97] One by one
[03:51.22] We stand beneath the sun
[03:54.53] With arms high open wide
[03:59.31] Two by two
[04:01.94] He's getting you
[04:04.83] To watch him as he leaves this life he kne
[04:10.48] One by one
[04:12.94] We start to.e undone...
[04:21.31] Two by two
[04:24.75] He's getting through to you...
[04:32.41] One by one we stand, we stand, we stand,
[04:48.33] over, over, you...
