One Day
Charice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home

One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home

Woke up this morning, heard someone snoring
Knobheads going on about modern life is boring
Bears have their own music, no-one can prove it
Just like I'm a guy of guys
You think I'm gonna move it

One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home

Sum up together, nobody's the wiser
It's life in the sunshine, that's what I would advise her

One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home

One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home

Woo!
Yeh-ha!

One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground




You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home

Overall Meaning

Charice’s song “One Day” is a reflective piece that delves into the inevitable truth of the fleeting nature of life. The song speaks to the notion that no man is an island: the inevitability of aging, loneliness, and eventually transitioning into the afterlife. The lyrics “One day, you’ll be on your own, you won’t have a shout anymore, one day, you’ll be in the ground,” paint a picture of the fleeting nature of human existence. The song highlights the importance of living your best life while you still can because the present moment is all we truly have. There is no time to waste on trivialities or unfulfilling endeavors because time waits for no one.


The verse, “Sum up together, nobody’s the wiser, it’s life in the sunshine, that’s what I would advise her” suggests that the songwriter is advising someone to live life to the fullest, and not to worry too much about the complexities of life. The song’s overall message is that life is too short to be wasted on things that don’t matter, and that we should cherish every moment while we can.

One day, one day, one day

They're not gonna keep me down
They're not gonna shut me out
They're gonna do what they do, I'll do me
I'm moving against the crowd
I'm drowning out the doubt
They're gonna do what they do, I'll do
Something original, be unforgettable
They're gonna know my name

(One day) I'll make you a believer
(One day) I got this all I need is
(One day) Don't try to tell me I can't (tell me I can't)
(Right now) I'm writing the future
(Watch out) Won't stop I'm a mover
(One day) You're gonna know who I am
I will fly high and free
It's my fate wait and see one day

I've been afraid before,
To reach for something more
But now I see that it's mine, I'll take it
Just go ahead and try,
You're not gonna change my mind
There's no such thing as too late
Yeah!

(One day) I'll make you a believer
(One day) I got this all I need is
(One day) Don't try to tell me I can't (tell me I can't)
(Right now) I'm writing the future
(Watch out) Won't stop I'm a mover
(One day) You're gonna know who I am
I will fly high and free
It's my fate wait and see

I'm on a mission, no longer listening
To anyone that says don't try
Sometimes you feel it, deep in your spirit
It's like a fire that won't die

(One day) Wait and see
(One day) Ooh
(One day) Just wait and see

(One day) I'll make you a believer
(One day) I got this all I need is
(One day) Don't try to tell me I can't
(Right now) I'm writing the future
(Watch out) Won't stop I'm a mover
(One day) You're gonna know who I am (know who I am)
I will fly high and free
It's my fate wait and see one day

One day, one day
One day, one day, one day
