One by One

As long as there’s a sun
they’ll come here one by one
The schemers
the smugglers
the dreamers
and jugglers
Making room for everyone
And as long as there’s a promise
there is give-and-take among us
The preachers
and farmers
the teachers
and charmers
On song, a chorus of one
Fourth of July with apple pie
Mama stirs like a butterfly
Papa reaches to the sky And all the flowers grow straight and high
When in town please stop by
Mama moves like a butterfly
Papa lifts me to the sky And all the flowers grow straight and high
Why'd the promise lose its heart?
and goodwill exit and depart?
It's the grabbers
and haters
stabbers
and traitors
Bent on ripping us apart
Oh my, I wonder why
Mama hums a lullaby
Papa looks me in the eye And all the flowers lie down and die
Oh my, I could cry
Mama sings a lullaby
Papa stares me in the eye
And all the flowers lie down and die
High tide, low tide
they couldn’t abide
They couldn’t agree
and couldn’t decide
The life-long dream
just ran out of steam
And all the dirty water
came running down stream
In good time the sun will come
and they’ll return here one by one
The believers
reformers
achievers
performers
To keep darkness on the run
New shoes and cute hair tie
Mama glows like a butterfly
Papa stretches to the sky And all the flowers grow straight and high
Cream tarts and Key Lime pie
Mama soars like a butterfly
Papa smiles up to the sky And all the flowers grow straight and high
