lyrics

Drop by drop, the bucket fills
And pours over the brim

Love by love, the heart is filled
And can’t go back again

This crazy world makes no sense at all
So much beauty, so much hurt

But if you step up and I step up

We’ll find out what it’s worth

There’s nothing left to lose ...

One by one
We face into the rain

And turn our flesh into flame
One by one
We breathe into the pain

You can’t make fire feel afraid



With this remaining shred of hope
We have a choice to make

All together and on our own

Will we bend or will we break

And in this brief moment of peace
Will we feed the war machine

Or will we find the strength that it takes
To fall down on our knees

There’s nothing left to lose

One by one

We face into the rain

And turn our flesh into flame
One by one

We breathe into the pain

You can’t make fire feel afraid

One by one

We step into the light

And start to burn

One by one

We give into what’s right

We are the tide that has turned


Can’t turn away anymore

We will remember who we are

Fire must spread or it disappears

Lay down your sword and your shield

Be suspicious of all that can divide us:
Politics, race, class, religion, and bias

Time and time again I’ve seen that
We can lift each other up

We lift each other up, we lift each other up ...

There’s nothing left to lose

One by one
