(Chorus) I know that One Day it'll be alright I know that One Day we will see the light That we've been searching for all this time Stretch your fingers out and touch the sky I know that One Day it'll be alright I know that One Day we will see the light That we've been searching for all this time I know that One Day (One Day) One Day (One Day)
Wisdm (Verse 1) Sun rays, blue skies and white clouds Lookin for the words to speak to say outloud Lookin for the opportunity that's right now One day you will see the breakout crowds And thats wild but true in every sense of it The crew is who im reppin' with movin' and im steppin' in With no holdin back and loopholes attached Let's let known the facts and let's just roll with that And just expose the cracks in the wall I take it serious while some just laugh it off Foes attackin' ya'll and attackin' me but who will stand with me? There's only one I know among the many you see And there's plenty beef but i'm here to flip it And bring you the peace with soul movin' speech So true indeed so lose defeat And gain victory let's face HIStory
(Chorus)
Just J (Verse 2) In reality life is but a moment in time And if we live for the moment then let's open our minds once our minds are unlocked, let's start to refine maybe then we'll catch a glimpse of what we're hoping to find climb upon a cloud with me, observe from the skyline all our people finding out their purpose in their primetime is ticking and the pace of this race never changes so lets aim for that target instead of targeting the aimless embrace this with every single ounce of your being and im gauranteein' that a new season is what you'll be in breathe in, exhale release to relief receive joy for that grief and increase your inner peace ease that situation with patience as a virtue replace hate with love and let that passion burn through I've learned to hope for the best and even better Im just hopin' that we reach what's best for us with us together
(Chorus)
Wisdm (Verse 3) We are all created different like the trees of this world And spread out through the earth like the seas of this world As it seems to unfurl, the story that's been told Truth through this book is what seems to unfold As I look around and glare off into the distance My soul tends to take off and soar in an instant And so much is different now then i was a child I know a little bit more of what life is about But I'm still learning and still growning Still a student of Him the one whos all knowing And its all going, gonna be alright Whatever comes our way we gotta take it in stride Make it in life and dont give up staying alive Dangerous for the children that are playing outside And he offers his protection, constantly we reject him Stuck in the cycle of minds that are infected
(Chorus) I know that One Day it'll be alright I know that One Day we will see the light That we've been searching for all this time Stretch your fingers out and touch the sky I know that One Day it'll be alright I know that One Day we will see the light That we've been searching for all this time I know that One Day (One Day) One Day (One Day)
