Music: Bruno Mars/Philip Lawrence/Ari Levine/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've been waitin' for
I've been prayin' 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 (oh-oh-yeah)
One day, One day, One day ay ay ay
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'
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
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've been waitin' for
I've been prayin' 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 (oh-oh-yeah)
One day, One day, One day ay ay ay
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, singin' songs of freedom like
Wah-yo! Wah-yo, oh, oh
Wah-yo! Wah-yo, oh, oh
All my life, I've been waitin' for
I've been prayin' 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
