One by one come the stars
Blood-red sun, falling heart
One by one break our hearts
We are one in the growing dark
We are but bodies of bone with a hunger
And a thirst for more than we are
And all of our efforts to call out the morning
Only drive us apart
And all of our strength is our weakness
Here in the land of our scars
At the end of our answers a faithfulness enters
One by one with the stars
So one by one, heal our hearts
One by one, slake our thirsts
Pounding hearts, fit to burst
One by one this kingdom comes upon the earth
So call me crazy
Yeah, that's what I am
And call me foolish
To have hope for this land
But maybe we're not forgotten
As we spin in the darkness of time
Oh the stars are a sermon gently assuring us
Someone has heard our cry
So one by one, every breath
Frees us from our regret
Heaving lungs and visions set
One by one and step by step
One by one, come the stars
One by one, heal our hearts
