One By One  © Joel Plimmer

I was lying face down 
In the middle of the pouring rain  
I needed something I couldn’t give 
Writing notes in bottles 
Trying to get rescued from the pain 
Trying to save my sinking ship 

Then one by one 
You cracked ‘em open 
You read each line 
How my life was broken 
Looking in the mirror 
Tryin’ to make things right 
Just searching for an answer 
Of how to get through the night 

Then one by one 
You start the healing 
Those dark clouds can’t 
Rain away this feeling 
When you bring ‘em to the sun 
One by one 

Now the seas are calmer I guess the storm has passed 
You changed my course so I could see 
You’re the wind in my sail the strength that holds my mast 
You’re the light inside of me 

Now one by one 
Like Zuzu’s petals 
My life came back on so many levels 
You’re filling up my pockets 
With happy memories 
That I had once forgotten 
Yeah they’ve been waiting for me

Then one by one
All of those voices 
That once told me 
How my life was pointless 
They say take that thought 
And turn it around
Take your life and make it count 
Give your faith, give your heart 
He’ll give to you another life 
Another place to start 

Then one by one 
People will see it 
They’ll see your life in me 
I’ll live it 
And to you they’ll come 
One by one 
You’re brighter than the sun
Yeah to you they’ll come 
One by one
