One Day I'll Win
One Day I'll Win
One Day You Will See
One Day I'll Win
One Day I'll Win
For I Wish It To Be
And Then You Will See

Yes I Know I'm A Simple Man
Yes I Know It's A Complex Land
If I Tell Myself I Can If I Dream
Therefore I Am
Oh Lord, Please Hear Me Oh Lord,

Line by Line Meaning

Can you remember the morning
Do you recall the specific morning


I told you goodbye
When I said farewell to you


Just when a new was dawning
At the precise moment of a sunrise


A piece of me died
A part of myself ceased to exist


Somehow I have to try to
I must make an effort to


Getting used to being alone
Adjusting to solitude


If I could only hold you once again
If I had the chance to embrace you once more


I'd never let go
I would never release you


Save me a prayer
Preserve a prayer for me


When day turns to night
At the shift from daytime to nighttime


Lord won't you
Dear Lord, would you


Show me the light
Illuminate my path


One day I'll find back to my heart and soul again
Eventually, I'll rediscover my heart and soul


One day I swear swear by your name
One day, I promise by your name


Memories keep me awake
Recollections prevent me from sleeping


And you're there by my side
And you remain alongside me


I wonder if its only in my mind
I ponder if it solely resides in my thoughts


That I am alive
That I still exist


Tell me I'm right
Inform me that I'm accurate
