 How did I get myself into  all of this mess?
   How did I end up with  this deadly home address?
 How did I come to this when every  song I sing
 is nothing but a list of pain  and suffering?
 We never will forget, and  no, we will not forgive.
 We walk along to die,  yet we don't know how to live.
 How do we change our world to  what we want it to be?
 How do we move beyond  all of this misery?
 One  foot in front of the other  foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other  foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other foot  in front of the
One  foot in front of the  other foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other  foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other foot  in front of the
 I've been in chains since I  was nothing but a kid
 We don't know freedom, not  quite sure if we ever did
 Now that we've found it, how  do we make use of it
 We've been committed, now  to what do we all commit?
 I used to have a home, now  I don’t even have a name
 I'm nothing but a number,  here we are all the same
 We've lost so much, so many  of those we love are dead
 How do I get these memories  out of my fucking head?
One  foot in front of the  other foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other  foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other foot  in front of the
One  foot in front of the  other foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other  foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other foot  in front of the
 How do we bear this burden  far too much to carry?
 How do we change the prison  to a sanctuary?
 We've been kept from the light,  no one ever gave a damn
 If I've no one to fight,  how do I know who I am?
One  foot in front of the  other foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other  foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other foot  in front of the
One  foot in front of the  other foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other  foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other foot  in front of the
 We waged a war with hell,  and look, we still survive.
 But just because we live  does not mean that we're alive.
 We've won the final round,  but how to enjoy the win?
 When we’ve been broken down  and we'll never know what could've been
 Heaven  help us, where do we begin?
One  foot in front of the  other foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other  foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other foot  in front of the
One  foot in front of the  other foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other  foot
 In front of the one  foot in front of the other foot  in front of the
 One!
 One!
 One!
