One Day
Bjork Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day
It will happen
One day, one day
It will all come true

One day
When you're ready
One day, one day
When you're up to it

The atmosphere
Will get lighter
And two suns ready
To shine just for you

I can feel it
I can feel it

One day
It will happen
One day, one day
It will all make sense

One day
It will blossom
One day, one day
When you're ready

An aeroplane
Will curve gracefully
Around the volcano
With the eruption
That never lets you down

I can feel it
I can feel it

And the beautifulness
Fireworks will burn in
In the sky
Oh just for you

I can feel it
I can feel it

One day
One day




One day
One day

My daughter, who has neurological disabilities, didn't walk until she was well past two years old. I used to play this song all the time while we played together when she was tiny. It gave me strength and hope throughout all her milestones. Thank you, Bjork! (She just graduated from college!)

@dawniebee946

Goosebumps.
I can feel it.

@corafairy

Glory be to Jesus!!

@betsybrains

I was born in 1966 w diagnosis of mild cerebral palsy. I didn't walk til I was two. I was a grownup when Bjork came out, but her sound soothed my brain then, and it does today.
Wild icy winds to walk and run in.

This song is why I got sober.....it suddenly made sense, to live, and not keep dying.
I watched her live for her next album/ tour. I loved her always. Then, I was a wreck during the shutdown, and this song just exploded in my mind. I could not put words to my moment, but this song shuffled back through the Playlist of my broken brain. It all made sense.

@NickGibbsmusic

This comment maybe just saved my life. Thank you.
