Winter came so soon Like summer never happened We're players on a stage Roles already scripted We're working for a wage We're living for today On a giant piece of dirt Spinning in the universe I can hear your cry out there And I can feel you close to me One day at a time Inch by inch For every kiss On lovers lips For all lost souls Who can't come home Friends, not here We shed our tears And all I wanna do Is make the right impression The instrument of truth A soldier with no weapon I care so much for you I crawled a thousand miles Through deserts full of sand My love in every land I can feel your cry out there And I can feel you everywhere One day at a time Inch by inch For every kiss On lovers' lips We're all lost souls Who can't come home The Friend's 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 Friends, not here We shed our tears I can feel your presence there Tender softly through the air One day at a time Inch by inch For every kiss On lovers lips We're all lost souls We can't come home
