One Day, One Day, One Day, One Day
One Day, One Day

Didn’t I tell ya everything was gonna be all right
I never doubted it was just a matter of time
And though I’ve travelled across the desert of despair
I knew I’d get there yeah one day

How times have changed, I been a rea-rearranging everything
But it can’t change the love I felt when I get back home to you
I am the same, it’s just a game that I chose to play
But remember I can lose as fast as I won one day

I still remember the hole in the wall
Where we all sat though you said we’d fall
The dusty yard and the broken down barn
Where you and me used to share a yarn
But it’s gone now

But didn’t I tell ya that everything was gonna be all right
I never doubted it was just a matter of time
And though I travelled across the desert of despair
I knew I’d get there one day, one day
I’d get there one day

Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music."
