"Sometimes I lay under the moon and I thank God I'm breathin'. Then I pray don't take me soon 'cause I am here for a reason. Sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down. So when negativity surrounds, I know someday it'll all turn around because All my life I been waitin' for, I been prayin' for, for the people to say; That we don't want to fight no more. They'll be no more wars, and our children will play. One day. One day."
Sometimes I lay under the moon and I thank God I'm breathin'. Then I pray don't take me soon 'cause I am here for a reason. Sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down. So when negativity surrounds, I know someday it'll all turn around because - All my life I been waitin' for, I been prayin' for, for the people to say; That we don't want to fight no more. They'll be no more wars, and our children will play - One day! One day! One day! One day! One day! One day!
It's not about win or lose, 'cause we all lose when they feed on the souls of the innocent -
Blood, drenched pavement. Keep on movin' though the waters stay ragin'.
And in this life you may lose your way, your way.
It might drive you crazy, but don't let it phase you, no way, no way!
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.
