One by One - Hootie & The Blowfish

Three

In my family say

«we've never been anywhere»

«to the left sea

Can we go please

We don’t care we want to

Sit and stare at it»

Can we try

To hold up our head

Feel the power of the land that we trampled once

Can we go

Where you go

We know you always need us behind

It’s me it’s me

Calling around looking for your reply

Let me tell you where the story

Can run to now

We came together

We will leave here one by one

Let’s go on and remember

Where we’ve been

Aunt Inez

From Virginia she

Makes me feel like I could be president

Of all I see

And all I dream

In these eyes that have held so much punishment

When she laughs

I hold up my head

She makes me feel like I could walk on water now

Can she go

Where I go

I know I’ll always need her behind
