One by One

 On this planet I've been planted
 But at times I feel more stranded
 'Cause the world is not the place of my childhood
 Daddies leavin,' babies dyin'
 Lovers cheatin,' brothers lyin'
 Truth is we don't love like we should
 So let's start with the man in the mirror - I know what's in my heart
 We can't build a bridge before the de-construction starts
 CHORUS:
 Let's break it down one by one
 'Cause a change has got to come
 Tear down the walls with love this time
 We've witnessed the damage done
 But our words are not enough
 No, nothing's gonna change until we try
 One by one
 Vs2:
 Well I know this thing for certain
 It's gonna take some workin'
 But the human heart was made to weather change
 I'm not talking about a trend here
 Not some fashionably shed tear
 No, it's got to be the blood within our veins
 So start with the man in the mirror - You know what's in your heart
 We can't change the world unless we all be taking part
 CHORUS
 BRIDGE:
 Love and hate can't co-exist
 Open your heart, put down your fist
 It's time we love our neighbor like we love ourselves
 This one thing I know is true
 The change must start in me and you this time
 Yeah that's right
 So let's break it down one by one
