Jon Arterton #3860003. Published by Jon Arterton (A0.777008).This powerful song has been made universally popular by Matisyahu. It’s about hope for a better world. The arranger says “I’ve got about seventy arrangements available online and this one song has outsold all of my other arrangements COMBINED.” There’s a reason for that – it’s an amazing song that is a perfect concert closer. Its melody causes instant earworms to all who hear it.
"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.
