"One Soul At A Time" lyrics

Take aim boys, but be sure that it's true
Every man must learn to stand square in the crossheads of truth
Today will be a day we shall remember for all of our lives
All bets are off, our debts are forgiven tonight
Our best messenger was sent, but alas he was hit
Taking word up to the front lines
As we were trying to save the world
One soul at a time

With our surest foot forward we ushered in our last golden age
Shoulder to shoulder and onward into the fray
But with the tip of your head
Was it as easy as that to resign?
You thought no one believed
In the dreams you fought so hard to find
It was slow going work
But it was working nonetheless
And they paid us in nickels and dimes
We were trying to save the world
One soul at a time

You can't believe everything
That proceeds from the mouths of men
History's pages are penned
By the winning team's hand
In idealistic ditches
We dug ourselves in for the fight
We lit fires of faith
That burned with fire God's furious life
And we were soldiers for hire
But we knew not to fire
Till we'd seen the whites of their eyes
Cause we were trying to save the world
One soul at a time

Yeah, we've been trying to save the world
One soul at a time
I keep trying to save the world
One soul at a time
