One Fine Day Lyrics

Saw the wanderin' eye, inside my heart
Shouts and battle cries, from every part
I can see those tears, every one is true
When the door appears, I'll go right through, oh

I stand in liquid light, like everyone
I built my life with rhymes, to carry on
And it gives me hope, to see you there
The things I used to know, that one fine

[Chorus: x2]
One fine day

In a small dark room- where I will wait
Face to face I find- I contemplate
Even though a man- is made of clay
Everything can change- that one fine-

[Chorus: x3]

Then before my eyes, is standing still
I beheld it there, a city on a hill
I complete my tasks, one by one
I remove my masks, when I am done

Then a peace of mind, fell over me
In these troubled times, I still can see
We can use the stars, to guide the way
It is not that far, the one fine

[Chorus: x4]

The liner notes talk about this song being inspired in part by Dave Egger's book "What is the What." The sound itself is like secular gospel.

@grasswidow103 Wow. That was a nice book!

In the fist line of the last verse, I recommend changing "piece" to "peace"!
