This Day
Usher Lyrics

Wishes, wonder
Anticipating a special occasion with excitement and curiosity

Magical day
A day that seems enchanting or extraordinary

Time stands still, can't explain what I feel
A feeling that is indescribable and stops time momentarily

If this is really real, nothing's ever gonna be the same
Suggesting that the feeling experienced on this day is life-changing

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
An expression of joy, excitement, and thrill

I get to say goodbye to the struggle in life
Feeling relieved and grateful to be free from hardship

Say hello to the sky, spread my wings and fly away
Metaphorically, feeling like taking a leap of faith towards limitless possibilities

Even though life's been knocking me down
Acknowledging the struggles and difficulties of life

I had to figure it out, see my way through the doubt
Expressing resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity

And when it seems I'm lost, turn and found my way
Finding a way out of a difficult situation, despite uncertainty and confusion

What I got in my hands could be the spark
Recognizing the potential for greatness or change within oneself

Turns it all around, could this be happening now?
Feeling amazed and surprised at the turn of events

Tell me what do you do?
Asking a rhetorical question about facing challenging situations

When everyone's counting on you
Acknowledging the pressure and expectations put on oneself

The decisions you make, the give and the take
Highlighting the importance of decision-making and balancing competing interests

The promises kept and the ones that you break
Recognizing the consequences of keeping or breaking promises

Are the hardest to take
Acknowledging the difficulty of dealing with the outcomes of one's actions

But ooh, we'll always be standing by you
Providing reassurance and support to someone facing difficulties

No, I won't give up
Declaring a commitment to persevere through challenging times

I won't give in
Expressing determination to not give up or lose hope

'Cause the day that you run might be the day that you win
Encouraging perseverance towards a successful outcome

You always figure it out, see your way through the doubt
Praising someone for their resilience and problem-solving skills

And when you're lost I'll help you find your way
Offering support and guidance to someone who is struggling

What you got in your hands could be the spark
Encouraging someone to recognize their potential for greatness or change

Turns it all around, is this happening now?
Feeling amazed and surprised at the turn of events

Knew we'd see this day
Expressing a strong belief or conviction that a certain event would occur

You know all your dreams are calling
Encouraging someone to pursue their dreams and aspirations

It's out there if you want it
Suggesting that success is attainable with effort and determination

Don't be afraid
Encouraging bravery and courage when facing uncertainty or risk

Believe that now your best is yet to come
Encouraging optimism and hope for the future

Forget about yesterday
Encouraging letting go of past mistakes and regrets

It's dead and gone away
Acknowledging that past events cannot be undone

The only thing that matters is right now
Emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment

(whoa)
Expressing surprise or excitement

This is our moment
Acknowledging that the present time offers opportunities for success and happiness

(this magical day)
Describing the day as one that feels enchanting or extraordinary

(Baby let's own it)
Encouraging taking ownership and responsibility for one's actions and outcomes

We waited for so long
Acknowledging the anticipation and patience leading up to this day

So long we've waited for
Further emphasizing the long-awaited nature of the day
