Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Winter came so soon
Like summer never happened
We're players on a stage
With roles already scripted
We're workin' for a wage
I'm livin' for today
On a giant piece of dirt
Spinnin' in the universe
[Verse 2]
And I can hear your cry out there
And I can feel you close to me
[Verse 3]
One day at a time
Inch by inch
For every kiss
On lovers' lips
For all lost souls
Who can't come home
For friends not here
We shed our tears
[Verse 4]
And all I wanna do
Is make the right impression
Instrument of truth
A soldier with no weapons
I care so much for you
I'd crawl a thousand miles
Through deserts full of sand
My love in every land
[Verse 5]
And I can hear your cry out there
And I can feel you everywhere
[Verse 6]
One day at a time
Inch by inch
For every kiss
On lovers' lips
For all lost souls
Who can't come home
For friends not here
We shed our tears
[Verse 7]
One day at a time
Inch by inch
For every kiss
On lovers' lips
For all lost souls
Who can't come home
For friends not here
We shed our tears
[Verse 8]
And I can feel your presence here
Rendered softly to the air
[Verse 9]
One day at a time
Inch by inch
For every kiss
On lovers' lips
For all lost souls
Who can't come home
