One Day

It's hard to sing when you're crying Hard to leave when you're tied down It's hard to sleep when you're fighting For your life like you are right now There's only so much more you can stomach Though it's more than you thought You only keep moving By the grace of God You're doing one day, one breath, one prayer One thing at a time One word, one step, one hope In a coming light Don't try to swallow the ocean Keep doing one day 'Til one day you're free You could escape in a daydream But you'd wind up right back here Up to your waist in the maybes It's no use hiding on the back stairs Hear the peculiar voice in the forest Calling "open the doors" It'll take a few battles To win this war And you'll do it one day, one breath, one prayer One thing at a time One word, one step, one hope In a coming light Don't try to swallow the ocean Keep doing one day 'Til one day you're free One day you're free Oh, I see you laughing on the other side Where the walls have tumbled and the flowers grow wild Oh, I see you laughing on the other side With your broken heart under open sky One day, one breath, one prayer One thing at a time One word, one step, one hope In a coming light One day, one breath, one prayer One thing at a time One word, one step, one hope In a coming light Don't try to swallow the ocean Keep doing one day 'Til one day you're free One day you're free
