[Chorus]

One day at a time

It'll get better, momma, don't you cry

'Cause I know one day it'll be alright

It'll be alright

[Verse]

Too much pain on you and me

So much, I just fall down on my knees

And ask God why

But I know

One day, we'll see the light

One day, we will be alright

One day

[Chorus]

So, momma, momma, don't you cry

See, I know one day we will be alright

We will be alright

Mm-hmm-mm

[Outro]

We will be alright

Don't you cry

Don't you cry
