One by One

Three in my family say

We've never been anywhere

To the left sea, can we go please

We don't care, we want to sit and stare at it

Can we try to hold up our heads

Feel the power of the land that we trample

But can we go where you go

We know you always need us behind

It's me, it's me

Calling around, looking for your reply

Let me tell you where the story will run to now

We came together, we will leave here one by one

Let's go on and remember where we've been

Oh, nine years from Virginia

She makes me feel like I could be the president

Of all I see and all I dream

In these eyes that have held so much punishment

When she laughs I hold up my head

She makes me feel like I could walk on water now

Can she go where I go

I know I'll always need her behind
