Matisyahu - One Day Lyrics

Genre: Ska

Songwriters: Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Bruno Mars, Matthew Miller

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

Send "One Day" Ringtone to your Cell

matis IS the $h*t! he has an uncanny ability to make you think about givin peace a chance; and i cant lie, alot of his songs give me goosebumps! haha. jerusalem is another great one, so is king without a crown... matis just has that ability. BUT, he really shouldve picked someone else to jump on the remix... AKON?????? jebuss, ANYone else would&#039ve been a better choice! and if you dont know why i say this, go ahead and google all the &@#$%^ up $h*t akon has done.

Very deep, emotional song.

Haha I remember when I was at Bonnaroo '06. I was camped in the VIP section, not too far from Matisyahu's site. I was walking down the trail with my brother and DJ Logic and Matisyahu and his son roll by on a golf cart. So I flipped him a peace sign and said what's up.

I will never forget his face. He simply stared at me as he drove by with that "who the fu@k are you" look in his face and did not say a word.

Regardless, this man is brilliant. And this song is brilliant. Very uplifting and hopeful.
