[Intro]

Ooo-ahoo, ah-yah-ahha

Am-aba-ah-ah-oh-oh

(One day, one day, one day)

Am-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I lay under the moon and thank God I'm breathing

Then I pray, "Don't take me soon, 'cause I am here for a reason"

[Pre-Chorus]

Sometimes in my tears I drown

But I never let it get me down

So when negativity surrounds

I know some day it'll all turn around, because...

[Chorus]

All my life I've been waiting for, I've been praying for

For the people to say

That we don't wanna fight no more, there'll be no more wars

And our children will play

One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh)

One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh)

[Verse 2]

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 moving though the waters 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)

[Pre-Chorus]

Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown)

But I never let it get me down (Get me dow-own)

So when negativity surrounds (Surrounds)

I know some day it'll all turn around, because...

[Chorus]

All my life I've been waiting for (Waiting for)

I've been praying for (Praying for)

For the people to say

That we don't wanna fight no more (Fight no more)

They'll be no more war (No more war)

And our children will play

One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh, one day)

One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh)

[Bridge]

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:

Why-ohhh , why-ohh-ohh-ohh

(One day, one day, oh-oh-oh)

Why-ohhh, why-ohh-ohh-ohh

(One day, one day, oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]

All my life I've been waiting for

I've been praying for

For the people to say (Ay-yay-yay-yay-yay-oh)

That we don't wanna fight no more (Ay-yay-yay-yay-yay-oh)

They'll be no more war

And our children will play

(Why-ohhh , why-ohh-ohh-ohh)

One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh)

(Why-ohhh , why-ohh-ohh-ohh)

One day (One day), one day (One day), one day (Oh-oh-ohh)

[Outro]

Ooo-ahoo, ah-yah-ahha

Am-aba-ah-ah-oh-oh

(One day, one day, one day)

Am-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh
