(Ooh ooh-hoo, ah ya, ah no ah ah oh)
(One day, one day, one day)
(Ah no oh oh oh)
Sometimes I lay under the moon
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 (one day), one day (one day), one day
(Oh oh oh)
One day (one day), one day (one day), one day
(Oh oh oh)
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 phase 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 someday it'll all turn around because
All my life I been waitin' for (waitin' for)
I been prayin' for (prayin' for), for the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more (fight no more)
They'll be no more wars (no more wars)
And our children will play
One day (one day), one day (one day), one day (oh oh oh oh)
One day (oh oh oh)
One day (one day), one day (one day), one day
(Oh oh oh)
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
(Oh oh oh)
One day, one day
(Oh oh oh)
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), one day (one day), one day
(Oh oh oh)
One day (one day), one day (one day), one day
(Oh oh oh)
(Ooh ooh-hoo, ah ya, ah no ah ah oh)
(One day, one day, one day)
(Ah no oh oh oh)
(One day, one day, one day)
(Ah no oh oh oh)

ahh, this song transcends the concept of an individual's life being of utmost importance to the encompassing concept of the individual as part of the larger collective of humanity. and that the hope that this will come to be someday is integral to the eventual manifestation of true peace on earth:
"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 They'll be no more wars And our children will play..."
so yes, it's a message of hope and optimism on the individual level... but the whole point is that in order for each person to truly be free, we must all be free together :) and love for each other, no matter what, is the key to manifesting this dream into reality.
