Sometimes I lay
Under the moon
And thank God I'm breathing
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 some day it'll all turn around because...
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day [6x]
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 moving though the waters stay raging
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 (I drown)
But I never let it get me down (get me down)
So when negativity surrounds (surrounds)
I know some day it'll all turn around because...
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day [6x]
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
One day, one day [2x]
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day [6x]
Under the moon
And thank God I'm breathing
Then I pray
Don't take me soon
'Cause I am here for a reason
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around because...
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day [6x]
Win or lose
'Cause we all lose
When they feed on the souls of the innocent
Blood-drenched pavement
Keep on moving though the waters stay raging
It might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you, no way (no way)
But I never let it get me down (get me down)
So when negativity surrounds (surrounds)
I know some day it'll all turn around because...

Such an awesome song!! I love it so much!

The first time I heard this I thought it was great not only because it was catchy and well done, but because the lyrics are really saying something.
I think everyone can relate to the wish for peace around them.
ohh and i hear "and our children will play"
pretty sure theres alot of wrong lyrics here. In fact the part in the first line that's posted here as "But in God I'll be him" is actually "I thank GOD I'm breathing"
This song is obviously about war(s) and the affect they have on the world. That is what i love about Matis, not only can he produce awesome rhythms, but his lyrics really have truth in them. Who knows, maybe there will be a day when there will be no such thing as war.
there will be! and I (like matisyahu) believe it with complete faith and with every fiber of my being!

Matisyahu is the exactly what music should be. Love.
i concur :)

I happen to be a Hassidic Jew (like Matisyahu) and happen to know that this song is right out out the teachings of Hassidic Jewdaism. The basic theme of the song is the fundamental of it's teachings, and the Rebbes' most majorly emphasized point, the anticipation of the Messianic era when the world will be a freer, happier, safer place to live. This actually is one of 13 fundamentals of Jewdaism in general, not only of Hassidic Jewdaism.
Thanks for sharing this. I think this tenet of Judaism is one of the noblest religious teachings there are. What I like even more about Hassidic Judaism as well as other types of Judaism is the emphasis on mitzvahs or good deeds to make the world as good a place as possible until the Messianic age comes. I believe all true and noble religions promote mitzvahs like this. As a result, I say kudos to any person practicing there religion in a compassionate and just way, including Hassidic Jews.

Yeah, I think the lyric is, "our children will play"
In fact, I think a lot of these lyrics are wrong, haha.
I think the third verse is:
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
