one day feat. B-BANDJ
YOSHIKA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

hey, we need to see before it’s over
one day we gotta know what’s real, right?

*they look so proud since they’ve got the power
but human ain’t the leader of this world
’cause a second after now,
he could drop the sky on us (on us to let it over)
**one day we gotta try to find what is real
it’s one way, we can’t go back so what are we gonna do?
one day we gotta try to find what is real
it’s one way, we can’t go back so what are we gonna do?

***and I’m asking to myself
oh what are we gonna do when tomorrow’s gone?
I’m asking to y’all now, yeah
what are we gonna do when the sky is gone?

(B-bandj)
Someday we gon’ look at the moon and just wonder
Pick up the pieces, the left-overs
Can’t cry about the past, thinkin ’bout the laughs
You had when you was a little kid
What is real, what is ill, what is twisted
Ill will to advance so we risk it
Wanna dive all around in the seas
But everytime I travel the world I’m appalled

*Repeat

(B-bandj)
Oneday, someway, someday,
hope a better day comes your way and my way
But in the meantime it gets worse
Mother earth gave birth and it hurts
Kill the greed in the human seed
Then we get the problem solved indeed
False pride inside
Man power devours

**Repeat

gotta try to find what’s real
when it’s gone, what’s it gonna be?
gotta try to find what’s real
when it’s gone, what’s it gonna be?

***Repeat *Repeat





one day...
