Oy!

Funny that I started a lyric recently on this very subject. Go easy on me here....it's my first pass at it. ;-)

One At A Time
Timothy A. Perry © April 27, 2007

Verse 1:
Every day we face off, locked in great debate.
And every day it’s clear to all, how much we love to hate.
Anger overflowing, seems we’re spoilin’ for a fight
‘Cuz each and every one of us is certain we are right.

Build:
Compromise is evil, say the All-Or-Nothing Kings
(Say) ya gotta stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything.
Peace will never find us through some nation’s grand design (but)
One mind, one heart, and one life at a time.

Verse 2:
Some are seen as godless, and the reason for our blight.
The other thinks the right is wrong, and knows the left is right.
War is all around us, whether here or far away.
The battles fought between us, seem truly here to stay

Build:
Lost in all the quarrels and the bickering we do,
(We) Forget about just who gets hurt, but to our cause be true
Peace will overtake us when our souls grow intertwined.
One mind, one heart, and one life at a time.

Instrumental: Verse chords

Repeat Build:
Lost in all the quarrels and the bickering we do,
(We) Forget about just who gets hurt, but to our cause be true
Peace will overtake us when our souls grow intertwined.
One mind, one heart, and one life at a time.
