[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
