One More Day
Clay Davidson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel like giving up Feel like I'm out of time
But I'm gonna keep on trying till I've reached the other side
And I'm gonna make it happen no matter what the price
What's one more day of life's troubles
One more bridge I have to cross
One more year of life's aging
Tell me how many more will it cost
Break
Well it's true that I've been lost out in the pouring rain
And I turned to the bottle just to try to ease the pain
When you're down to your last swallow
and you lay your head to rest
dawn breaks, it's another day it starts all over again
What's one more day of life's troubles
One more bridge I have to cross
One more year of life's aging
How many more will it cost oh lord
Tell me how many more will it cost
Break
What's one more day of life's troubles
One more bridge I have to cross
One more year of life's aging
How many more will it cost oh lord
Tell me how many more will it cost oh lord
Tell me how many more will it cost
The underlying theme of the lyrics of Clay Davidson's "One More Day" is about the struggles and hardships of everyday life and how one can overcome and persevere through it. The first verse presents a picture of someone who has hit rock bottom and seems to be giving up.

In the second verse, the lyrics reveal that the singer has been going through a lot of struggles, including resorting to alcohol as a way to cope. But the chorus brings the tone back to the question of how much more the person can take. It's a plea for guidance, a question that has no definite answer. However, it shows a willingness to take on whatever comes, no matter what the cost or the risk, the need to live and take each day as they come, full of hope.
