Lyrics
One Fine 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.
You were born on a windswept morn
Under the summer sky
They moved you past all the kids in your class
You never even asked why
Oh the golden days
Lying awake at night
Hearing the ocean spray
Nobody counting the lives you've cost
No mothers crying for sons they've lost
Nobody watching at all
Just you and the road as it curves and bends
Doing little jobs for your daddy's friends
One day when the world is right
We're going to walk in the bright blue light
When your kingdom's gone
And your friends moved on
We're going to watch you fall
We're going to watch it all
One fine day
Stuck your hand in a desert land
Hoping that liberty shines
Counting the sins of the ones you put in
Sweeping the roads for mines
It's funny how it all works out
You sleep sound at night
Me I have my doubts
I see a people all tired and torn
Moving along like a gathering storm
You see nothing at all
Walking around with your head in the clouds
Praying to God that it all works out
One day when the world is right
We're going to walk in the bright blue light
When your kingdom's gone
And your friends moved on
We're going to watch you fall
We're going to watch it all
One fine day
Nobody waves good-bye
When you sneak away one night
Under the blood red sky
Leaving a town where hope's gone cold
A little more helpless than it was before
Listen close you'll hear
A cry comes back from the burning sand
One more kid in a broken land
One day when the world is right
We're going to walk in the bright blue light
When your kingdom's gone
And your friends moved on
We're going to watch you fall
One day when the world is right
We're going to walk in the broad daylight
When your kingdom's gone
And your friends moved on
We're going to watch you fall
We're going to watch you crawl
One fine day
