One By One
by Michael Doyle

We work the problems
One by one
One at a time
That's how it's done

We face the world
One step at a time
Remaining undefeated
We struggle for prime

The point of no return
Comes fast as we learn
There's no turning back
From the life we earn

We keep to the fight
And it's understood
We'll continue to fight
For the right and the good

You hit me hard
Down and dirty
I laugh - 
It didn't even hurt me

Never mind the blood
It's just a thing
Rolling in the mud
We'll take our best swings

This fight - 
Won't be forgot
Win or lose
We'll give it all we got
