[Verse 1] Winter came so soon Like summer never happened We're players on a stage With roles already scripted We're working for a wage I'm living for today On a giant piece of dirt Spinning in the universe [Pre-Chorus] I can hear your cry out there And I can feel you close to me [Chorus] 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 2] And all I wanna do Is make the right impression The 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 [Pre-Chorus] I can hear your cry out there And I can feel you everywhere [Chorus] 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 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 [Pre-Chorus] I can feel your presence here Tender softly through the air [Chorus] One day at a time Inch by inch For every kiss On lovers lips For all lost souls Who can't come home
