One More Try
Lorna Courtney Ben Jackson Walker & Original Broadway Cast of & Juliet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another day, another destiny
This never ending road to Calvary
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time
One day more
I did not live until today
One day more
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
And yet with you, my world has started
One more day all on my own
Will we ever meet again
One more day with him not caring
I was born to be with you
What a life I might have known
And I swear I will be true
But he never saw me there
One more day before the storm
Do I follow where she goes
At the barricades of freedom
Shall I join my brothers there
When our ranks begin to form
Do I stay; and do I dare
Will you take your place with me
The time is now, the day is here
One day more
One day more to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
They will wet themselves with blood
One day more
Watch 'em run amuck
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there's a free for all
Here's a little 'dip'
There a little 'touch'
Most of them are goners
So they won't miss much
One day to a new beginning
Raise the flag of freedom high
Every man will be a king
Every man will be a king
There's a new world for the winning
There's a new world to be won
Do you hear the people sing
My place is here, I fight with you
One day more
I did not live until today
One more day all on my own
How can I live when we are parted
We will join these people's heroes
We will follow where they go
We will learn their little secrets
We will know the things they know
One day more
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
What a life I might have known
And yet with you my world has started
One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
Watch 'em run amok
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there's a free for all
Tomorrow we'll be far away
Tomorrow is the judgement day
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store
One more dawn
One more day
One day more

One day more
There is only one more day left
Another day, another destiny
Every day brings a new fate or purpose
This never ending road to Calvary
The constant journey towards sacrifice and redemption
These men who seem to know my crime
These individuals who appear to be aware of my wrongdoing
Will surely come a second time
They will surely return and confront me again
I did not live until today
My life had no real meaning before this moment
How can I live when we are parted
It is difficult for me to continue living without you
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
Tomorrow, you will be in a completely different place or situation
And yet with you, my world has started
Despite being apart, you have given my life purpose and meaning
One more day all on my own
Just one more day of solitude and loneliness
Will we ever meet again
Are we destined to cross paths once more?
One more day with him not caring
One more day of being ignored or unimportant to him
I was born to be with you
It is my destiny to be by your side
What a life I might have known
I could have had such a different and fulfilling life
And I swear I will be true
I promise to always be loyal and faithful
But he never saw me there
He never recognized my presence or acknowledged me
One more day before the storm
One more day before the imminent chaos or conflict
Do I follow where she goes
Should I go after her and follow her path
At the barricades of freedom
In the midst of the struggle for freedom
Shall I join my brothers there
Should I stand united with my fellow comrades
When our ranks begin to form
As we gather and unite as a group
Do I stay; and do I dare
Should I remain here, and am I brave enough to do so
Will you take your place with me
Will you stand beside me and fight together
The time is now, the day is here
The moment has come, and the day has arrived
One day more
There is only one more day left
One day more to revolution
Just one more day until the revolution begins
We will nip it in the bud
We will stop it before it fully develops
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
We will be prepared to face these inexperienced opponents
They will wet themselves with blood
They will be terrified and overwhelmed in the face of violence
Watch 'em run amuck
Witness them lose control and cause chaos
Catch 'em as they fall
Capture them when they face defeat
Never know your luck
You can never predict your fortune
When there's a free for all
In a situation of unrestricted competition or conflict
Here's a little 'dip'
Here is a small trick or deception
There a little 'touch'
There is a slight manipulation or impact
Most of them are goners
Most of them are doomed or fated to fail
So they won't miss much
They won't miss out on anything significant
One day to a new beginning
Just one more day until a fresh start
Raise the flag of freedom high
Display the symbol of liberation proudly
Every man will be a king
Every individual will have power and authority
There's a new world for the winning
There is a whole new realm awaiting victory
There's a new world to be won
There is a new realm to conquer or achieve
Do you hear the people sing
Can you listen to the collective voice of the people
My place is here, I fight with you
I belong here, and I will battle alongside you
We will join these people's heroes
We will unite with the heroes of the common people
We will follow where they go
We will follow their lead and direction
We will learn their little secrets
We will discover their hidden knowledge or strategies
We will know the things they know
We will have the same understanding as they do
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
Tomorrow, you will be in a completely different place or situation
What a life I might have known
I could have had such a different and fulfilling life
And yet with you my world has started
Despite being apart, you have given my life purpose and meaning
One more day to revolution
Just one more day until the revolution begins
We will nip it in the bud
We will stop it before it fully develops
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
We will be prepared to face these inexperienced opponents
Watch 'em run amok
Witness them lose control and cause chaos
Catch 'em as they fall
Capture them when they face defeat
Never know your luck
You can never predict your fortune
When there's a free for all
In a situation of unrestricted competition or conflict
Tomorrow we'll be far away
Tomorrow, we will be distant and separated
Tomorrow is the judgement day
Tomorrow is the day of reckoning or evaluation
Tomorrow we'll discover
Tomorrow, we will unveil or find out
What our God in Heaven has in store
What plans or destiny our divine power has prepared for us
One more dawn
Just one more sunrise
One more day
Just one more day
One day more
There is only one more day left

Have you ever felt out of place
Like something knocked you off, off your wave?
You try to lift your head up
To show 'em what you're made of
I used to always feel too afraid
To take that extra step, make a change
But now I gotta stand up
And show 'em what I'm made of
Ooh, we all were born to break the rules
I know I got a lot of hill to climb
But on this starry night
I'm feeling new
Oh, oh, anything goes
This is the moment I've waited for
Won't hold it back, no, not anymore
I'm starting over with tears in my eyes
All that I'm asking is one more try
I've made mistakes and I've let you down
Been young and stupid, I see it now
I'm starting over with tears in my eyes
All that I'm asking is one more try
Sick of being told who I am
Been put into a box, no, not again
It's time for me to step out
And show 'em what I'm all about
'Cause ooh, we all were born to break the rules
I know I've got a lot of hill to climb
But on this starry night
I'm feeling new
Oh, oh anything goes
This is the moment I've waited for
Won't hold it back, no, not anymore
I'm starting over with tears in my eyes
All that I'm asking is one more try
I've made mistakes and I've let you down
Been young and stupid, I see it now
I'm starting over with tears in my eyes
All that I'm asking is one more try
One more try
Yeah, huh
I've made mistakes and I've let you down
Been young and stupid, I see it now
I'm starting over with tears in my eyes
All that I'm asking is one more try.
