One By One

As the world was turning, long ago way back in time

Not a star was burning, only darkness filled the sky

Then the land was covered by the sun

Flowers started growing one by one

One by one came the leaves to the trees

One by one came the waves on the seas

Came a man and the wife, life had begun

And they were blessed with little children

One by one

Everyone a brother, joining hands in songs of praise

Helping one an other, through the dawning of the age

But soon the bonds of friendship were undone

Fighting for their places in the sun

One by one came the boats to the shores

One by one went the young men to the wars

Many died in the fight and few returned

One by one they told the leason they had learned

One by one we must kneel we must pray

One by one we must learn to love again

Let our children walk out in the sun

Through the land let's all join hands

One by one

One by one came the leaves to the trees

One by one came the waves upon the seas.

Came a man and the wife, life had begun

Let us all join hands togeather one by one
