One Piece at a Time

We stand here hopeless and battered Carelessly led astray Little comfort, what dies by the lightening Is reborn in the rain Go tell it all to the mornin' There's no need to ask twice Love without hesitation Love with all your might Though the horrors of the deep Can't compete with your crimes This old world will forgive you One piece at a time No bees makin' no honey Since the queen fled the hive You've got to deal with the traumas of time If you wanna survive Now the night is unraveling And we're half way to Mars There's no shortage of brutish ambition In this furnace of stars Though sometimes it feels helpless It's at moments sublime And this world will forgive you One piece at a time Though the horrors of the deep Can't compete with your crimes This old world will forgive you It won't ever leave you This world will forgive you One piece at a time
