One Day
The Paperboys Lyrics

I sit alone with my thoughts and try to capture the essence and knowledge itself
I spend time by myself, deep in thought, trying to grasp the true meaning and understanding of life.

I look for something solid so a bottle wont help
I search for stability and meaning in life, knowing that alcohol won't provide any real answers.

And I dont wanna bother nobody else so I'm alone again
I don't want to burden anyone with my problems, so I end up feeling isolated.

Feeling like a part of me is gone with my friends
I feel a sense of loss and emptiness when I'm away from my friends.

So I pretend that I'm dead but it makes no difference,
To cope, I sometimes pretend that I'm emotionally numb, but it doesn't change anything.

The only way to clear my head is in these weights I'm lifting
Engaging in physical exercise and lifting weights is the only way I can temporarily clear my mind.

I feel my fake shifting out of my head
I sense my false persona slowly dissipating from my thoughts.

The way I used to be so proud now its clear, I dont understand
I used to have confidence and pride, but now I'm confused about who I've become.

Things aint what they used to be
The current state of affairs is not how it used to be in the past.

I notice pain really aint new to me
I realize that I've experienced pain before and it's not a new sensation for me.

I'm living life n' bang so foolishly!
I'm recklessly and foolishly navigating through life without much thought or caution.

So lord lead me, give me the strength
I ask for guidance and strength from a higher power.

I know that you allready given me sense and I appreciate it
I acknowledge that a sense of purpose and understanding has already been granted to me, and I am grateful for it.

It's all so wet now when recreated, but whats the science?
When trying to re-evaluate my life, everything feels uncertain and confusing.

I know it aint much by hey I'm tryin
I understand that my efforts may seem small, but I'm still making an attempt to improve.

Feelin so fucked and I aint lying, there's darkness in me and everyday it's getting harder to breath..
I feel overwhelmed with despair and it's not an exaggeration. There's a darkness within me that makes it increasingly difficult to find inner peace and contentment.

(See one day)
I envision a future where things will be better.

See we survive but it never ends
We manage to keep going, but the struggles we face are constant and never-ending.

(We're gonna find our way)
We will eventually find our path in life.

And catch a vibe feelin' heaven sent
We will experience a positive and uplifting energy that feels like a divine gift.

(And then a place to stay)
We will find a sense of belonging and stability.

See I've been livin just dealin' with what I'm given
I have been living my life and making the best out of the circumstances I've been given.

Thinkin this is really somethin when it isn't
Sometimes I mistakenly believe that certain situations or experiences are truly significant when in reality, they are not as important as they seem.

(If I may)
Allow me to express my thoughts or opinions.

Just fly 'em by
Let's quickly pass through these challenges.

(And let me find my way)
Allow me to discover my own path.

And it's why they might
This is the reason why people may criticize or judge me.

(And there aint nothin I can say)
There's nothing I can do or say to change their opinions.

My window, why we live this way?
From my perspective, I question why we continue living in such a challenging manner.

I swear to god I never fracture my honesty
I promise to always remain truthful and sincere.

So they ask what the fuck's wrong with me
As a result, people wonder what is bothering me.

But see the way I act how I'm gonna be
My behavior reflects who I truly am.

And normally I wouldn't bother with nothing at all
Usually, I wouldn't be concerned about anything.

But now I'm in the rain feelin' part of the water that falls
However, currently, I feel connected to the world and its struggles, just like the raindrops falling from the sky.

And every fuckin breath I take, I realize I know that lifes full of lessons
With each breath I take, I understand that life is filled with valuable teachings and experiences.

You can never be safe, so I'm lyin here wide-awake tryin' to find a place
There is never complete security, so I find myself lying awake, searching for a sense of belonging or purpose.

While I'm planning my escape I recline into this state
While contemplating how to escape my current situation, I find solace in this state of mind.

So I need me a place I can chill and take it easy
I long for a place where I can relax and find peace.

Breathe freely, hear the swell, smellin seaweed
To truly breathe and be at ease, I want to hear the sound of waves and the scent of seaweed.

With trees and the leaves, that we ought to be given
Surrounded by trees and their leaves, we should be granted a sense of natural harmony.

But for now I'm just lost in the rythm
However, for the time being, I find solace in losing myself in the rhythm of life.

Sometimes I wonder what it's all for
Occasionally, I question the purpose of it all.

Coz when it rains it pours
Because when difficulties arise, they tend to come all at once.

And I don't wanna play these games anymore
I no longer wish to engage in the trivial and pointless games of life.

See, I just wanna be assured it was worth it
I simply desire reassurance that all the challenges and hardships were meaningful and had a purpose.

And maybe just for one day, I get it right and life will be perfect
Maybe, just for a day, everything falls into place, and life feels perfect and fulfilling.

Coz I don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been
While uncertain about the future, I am aware of my past experiences.

And I can feel the wind blowing holding on with my friends
I can sense the passing of time, and I hold onto my friendships for support and stability.

Coz in the end it's in them and in my family I trust
Ultimately, I find strength and trust in my friends and family.

That makes me proud, goddamnit it's us!
The love and support from my loved ones brings me immense pride and satisfaction.

I know I'm blessed, every part of me
I am aware of the blessings in my life, both internally and externally.

Chest, neck and arteries
From my chest, to my neck, and through my arteries, my body is evidence of these blessings.

Like Moses when he parted the sea (someone's watching)
Similar to the biblical story of Moses parting the sea, I feel a divine presence or higher power guiding me.

Life aint what it started out to be
Life has deviated from its original expectations or promises.

I've come to realize that it's all up to me
I've come to understand that I am responsible for shaping my own life and destiny.

So I'm running down my options
I am actively considering different choices and possibilities.

Waiting opportunities, give my man a helping hand of jewelry
I am patiently waiting for opportunities to arise, hoping that someone will offer support or guidance.

Trying to understand and join the lunacy
Attempting to comprehend and become part of the chaotic nature of life.

Coz soon as people see and tune in to the frequency
Because once people become aware and open themselves to the shared human experience,

They realize what humans do to humans deep in secrecy
They come to understand the dark and harmful acts that humans are capable of, hidden away from public view.

They might just see there aint much hope left to go around
They may perceive that hope is scarce and in short supply for everyone.

Things aint getting better and the globebank's slowing down
The world is not improving, and the overall state of the economy is declining.

But knowing what we know now, we ought to know better
With the knowledge and wisdom we have acquired, we should make better choices.

But since we gotta go, let's go together.
But since we all must continue on our journey through life, let's support and accompany each other along the way.
