One Day - lyrics


They’re not here for you
They’re not here for me
They’re just here for themselves
As you will see
They look up to no one
They look down on you
Everything that they say
Everything that they do

Oh, one day
One day we will see
Oh, one day
One day we will be
Just a product of our complacency
Nothing left for you and me
Oh, one day
One day we will see

I believed they were good
I believed life was fair
That my water was clean
That I could still breathe the air
But these aren’t rights that I own
They’ve all been taken away
Now that I’ve opened my eyes
I see it every day

Oh, one day
One day we will see
Oh, one day
One day we will be
Just a product of our complacency
Nothing left for you and me
Oh, one day
One day we will see

As I forge ahead
I wonder where I’ll go
They won’t let me stay
Now that they know I know
They still hold all the cards
They still run the show
Maybe soon there won’t be
Anywhere else to go

Oh, one day
One day we will see
Oh, one day
One day we will be
Just a product of our complacency
Nothing left for you and me
Oh, one day
One day we will see

They’re not here for you
They’re not here for me
They’re just here for themselves
As you will see
They look up to no one
They look down on you
Everything that they say
Everything that they do

Oh, one day
One day we will see
Oh, one day
One day we will be
Just a product of our complacency
Nothing left for you and me

Oh, one day
One day we will see
Oh, one day
Oh, one day
Oh, one day
Oh, one day
Oh, no day like today
