One Day (feat. Akon)
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.
See everybody that's existing
Got a mind of their own
We're all kings and queens
With a throne of our own
Tryin' to raise a family
Is another big home
We got to learn to stick together
Hate to be here alone
'Cause the world is a place
That will eat you alive in one day
Said the world is a place
That you can't survive without faith
Sometimes I lay
Under the Moon
And thank God I'm breathing
And pray
Don't take me soon
'Cause I'm here for a reason
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So my negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around
Because
All my live I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
They'll be no more wars
That our children will play
One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day
It's not about
Win or loose
Because we all lose
When they feed on the souls of the innocent
Blood drenched pain
Keep on moving though the water's stay raging
In this maze you can lose your way (your way)
It might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you no way (no way)
Gotta hold on
Livin' life day by day
Gotta hold on
Put your focus on that one day
All my live I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
They'll be no more wars
That our children will play
One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day
One day this all will change
Treat people the same
Stop with the violence
Down with the hate
One day we'll all be free
And proud to be
Under the same Sun
Singing songs of freedom like
Gotta hold on
Livin' life day by day
Gotta hold on
Put your focus on that one day
One day
All my live I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
They'll be no more wars
And our children will play
One day
