Day By Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Day by day by day oh
Livin' day by day oh...
I want to make it in life
I want the chance to be right
I want to make it in my life
I want the children to see
They have the right to be free
I want to see it in my life
Born and raised in Babylon
Under lock and key
Still they keep the pressure on
Trying to control me
Can't make it alone
I don't want to wait in vain
Together we're strong
Believe it and we'll break the chain
Day by day by day oh
Livin' day by day oh...
I want to make it in life
I want the chance to be right
I want to make it in my life
I want the children to see
They have the right to be free
I want to see it in my life
Equal opportunity
It is only talk to me
'Cause the rules of the game are set
Dividing our realities
Work is always going to be
Hard for everyone
Without the love, without the honesty
That we need to go on
Can't make it alone
I don't want to wait in vain
Together we're strong
Believe it and we'll break the chain
Can't make it alone
I don't want to wait in vain
Together we're strong
Believe it and we'll break the chain
Days I fought just to be free
Still I'm chained here in poverty
Life's a road of insecurities
But I know unity is the key
Can't make it alone
I don't want to wait in vain
Together we're strong
Believe it and we'll break the chain
Can't make it alone
I don't want to wait in vain
Together we're strong
Believe it and we'll break the chain
Can't make it alone
I don't want to wait in vain
Together we're strong
Believe it and we'll break the chain
