Oh, one day
Just one day, we will rise
Oh, enough to find
Little hope left alive
Just one day, baby
Just one day at a time
Say you're blind
If you can't see the light

Push me down, push me out
Pushed around all my life
All my life
Been afraid of the dark

'Cause when I turn to you, Lord
Turn me down every time
Say you're blind
And you can't see the light

Oh, stand close, brother, next to me
Share your color, make them see
Guard your honor and dare to dream

One day, baby, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
We don't have to run no more

When I rise (when I rise)
When I rise from the dark
Woah, your eyes (your eyes)
They won't judge me no more
And if you turn to me, Lord
I will not turn you down
Woah child, we've been running all our life
All our lives

Stand close, brother, next to me
Share your color, make them see
Guard your honor and dare to dream

One day, baby, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
Don't have to run no more

Is it down to you and me?
Is it only us that see?
Someone here's got to change this world
Start to feel that we never will
Oh, is it only you and I?
Has everyone else gone blind?
Someone here's got to change this world
If you never dream, then you never will

Oh, one day
Yes, one day
Oh, one day, hey, hey
Oh, one day
Oh, one day (one day, baby)
We will rise again (one day, baby)
Oh, one day (one day, baby)
We will rise again (one day, baby)
Oh, one day (one day, baby)
Oh, one day (one day, baby)
One day (one day, baby)
Oh, one day (one day, baby)
We will rise again (one day, baby)
One day, baby, baby (one day, baby)
Don't have to run no more
Don't have to run no more
We don't have to run no more
