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

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

It might drive you crazy

But don't let it phase you, no way

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 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


I chose this song by Matisyahu because I find his music really easy to listen to. His lyrics in his songs speak to me in a poetic way. I enjoy most of his music, and he is very talented. This songs lyrics are all about being sad and down about something but not letting it get to you and overcoming your problems. This song relates to my life right now in a different kind of sad and depression. My favorite lyrics in the song are, " And in this life you may lose your way, it might drive you crazy, but don't let it phase you."
