The loneliest hero

One is the loneliest number
Even lonelier than zero
Because the none are all together
And the one, the lonely hero

Can survival be survival
If the one to testify
Has to do it by his lonesome
With no other standing by

While the crowds surround him
And the people's tears join in
That one is still the lonely number
More than it's ever been

And maybe one will someday be
Less lonely than the zero
But for now it stands in silence
The one, the lonely hero
