Day One
K.A.S.H Lyrics

The lyrics to K.A.S.H's song Day One speak to the human experience of going through phases of struggle and hope, and the idea that we are all interconnected and reliant upon each other. The opening line, "Oh, I have been a beggar, and shall be one again," sets the tone for the entire song - that no matter how successful or well-off we may become, we are all vulnerable to the ups and downs of life.

The following line, "And few, the ones with help to lend, within the world of men," highlights the scarcity of resources and support in society, as well as the notion that we must rely on each other for survival. The imagery of walking on flowers and stones represents the fluctuating nature of life - sometimes things are easy and beautiful, and other times they are rocky and difficult.

The lines "I have sat on street corners, and watched the boot heels shine, and cried out glad and cried out sad, with every voice but mine" touches on the theme of feeling unseen and unheard, despite being in the midst of a bustling world. The repetition of the chorus, "One day I walk in flowers, one day I walk on stones, one day I walk in hours, one day I shall be home," reinforces the idea that life is a journey, and that we must keep moving forward no matter the obstacles we face.
