To the sound of cryin' kids
No mothers here to hold
We can only wish
So I'll sing you a song
To show you my mind
It's all that I can do
To help us pass the time
One by one
We will come, you make me wait
Countin' my mistakes
One by one
We will come, you make me wait
At the gates
To see your face again
Walked a thousand miles
To this promise land
But little did we know
We were already there
How can I find sleep
When they won't turn off the light
My stomach's rumblin'
No more dreams tonight
I'll sing you a song
'Cause our soul feel down
The hardest thing to do
Is make a joyful sound
One by one
We will come, you make me wait
Countin' my mistakes
One by one (One by one)
We will come, you make me wait
At the gates
To see your face again
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
One by one
We will come
One by one
One by one, you make me wait (One by one)
(We will come)
I'm countin' my mistakes
One by one (One by one)
We will come, you make me wait
You make me wait
Countin' my mistakes
