The sun rises slowly
On another day
The eastern sky grows cold
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey
Something
Something holds me
Holds me hypnotized
I stare at the window
Stare at the window
Waiting for the day to go
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey
Lie to me, say that you need me
That’s what I wanna hear
That is what, what makes me happy
Hoping you’ll be near
All this time, how could I know
Within these walls, I can feel you
Another day goes by, will never know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it’s gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love
You must think, how can this be
You don’t really know me
I can’t tell, this ain’t the time
You’ll never be mine
What can I say, something ‘bout my life
I just lost again
Another day goes by, will never know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it’s gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love
Always have to move on,
To leave it all behind
Go along with time
Another day goes by, will never know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it’s gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love
[verse:]
Another day gone by
And still no reason why
You say goodbye but then you cry
A million miles apart we lie
I opened every door to you
I put all my trust in you
You took advantage of it why?
Was every word you said a lie?
[chorus:]
It’s just another day, that didn’t go my way
It’s just another day
Cause times change, your mind’s rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn’t for you
But your feelings can’t control, the things that you do
That you do
[verse:]
I sit in here with all this fear
Empty thoughts and a blank stare
Trying to find, a reason why
The ones you trust, are the ones that lie
And was i wrong, for trusting you
You said you just don’t know what to do
When you’re with him, you think of me
Cause change means losing security
[chorus:]
It’s just another day, that you’re living life this way
It’s just another day
Cause times change, your mind’s rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn’t for you
But your feelings can’t control, the things that you do
That you do
[bridge:]
You say there’s too much past with him
You can’t throw it all away
But the past is all you have with him
History means security
That’s what i say, it’s just another day
[chorus:]
Cause times change, your mind’s rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn’t for you
But your feelings can’t control, the things that you do
Cause times change, your mind’s rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn’t for you
But your feelings can’t control, the things that you do
That you do
It’s just another day
Hey little brother the winds of the world
Have ruffled your soft and weakened wings
And though i can’t hold you as i look into your eyes
I can see the film that disappointment brings
I know it’s rained upon your childhood dreams
The games you’ve been playing
Weren’t quite what they seemed
How can i tell you don’t bang your head against the wall
The wall i’ve been banging and praying might fall
Your time will come on another day
And your dreams will flame and in the fire play
On another day
I know it’s hard for you to understand
There are no flying angels come to lend a hand
No smiling faces lined for you to meet
It looks like that in twisted glass
From the kind side of the street
Chorus
Repeat 1st verse
Chorus
Let me eat this light because I’ve dreamt too much
To put myself outside those insane conversations
For the first time I can organize my fever
Waiting for the dusk so we can come together
And now try to hold me tight
Stay! Another day
And luck will be with us
‘Cause we need we really need some
Stay, another day
Don’t let me back against
Their last and brazen attack
Remember what we’ve said, settle the score
Avenge yourself and even if the Darkness comes
To ask for the bill we’ll keep on shining
As we promised on the purple hill, so hold me tight
Stay! Another day
And luck will be with us
‘Cause we need we really need some
Stay, another day
Don’t let me back against
Their last and brazen attack
[Another Day, Another Day, Day, Day]
Stay! Another day
And luck will be with us
‘Cause we need we really need some
Stay, another day
Don’t let me back against
Their last and brazen attack
VERSE:
Another day gone by
And still no reason why
You say goodbye but then you cry
A million miles apart we lie
I opened every door to you
I put all my trust in you
You took advantage of it why?
Was every word you said a lie?
CHORUS:
It’s just another day, that didn’t go my way
It’s just another day

That you do
It’s just another day
Another day and the guilt is gone
Another day will stress the weak and the strong
Just a memory that we’ve become
I have taken without warning
When the day has just begun…
A summer’s day and my blood runs cold
I can hear you in the morning
As i’m reaching out to haunt you
A summer’s day and my blood runs cold
You will never hear me calling
As i’m reaching to destroy you
Another day won’t ease the sorrow
Another day will help frustration to grow
All pictures and the face of hope
I have taken without warning
When the day has just begun.
Every day she takes a morning bath s e wets her hair,
Wraps a towel around her
As she’s heading for the bedroom chair,
It’s just another day.
Slipping into stockings,
Stepping into shoes,
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat.
Ah, it’s just another day.
At the office where the papers grow she takes a break,
Drinks another coffee
And she finds it hard to stay awake,
It’s just another day. du du du du du
It’s just another day. du du du du du

Ay
So sad, so sad,
Sometimes she feels so sad.
Alone in her apartment she’d dwell,
Till the man of her dreams comes to break the spell.
Ah, stay, don’t stand around
And he comes and he stays
But he leaves the next day,
So sad.
Sometimes she feels so sad.
As she posts another letter to the sound of five,
People gather ‘round her
And she finds it hard to stay alive,
It’s just another day. du du du du du

One day on the beach
The water was nice and warm
When i closed my eyes
I felt the breeze like a gentle kiss
All our friends were there
Everybody was having fun
Don’t you know, don’t you know
It was a summer that i won’t forget
Do you remember the picture we took together?
In front of the sandcastle on the shore
Another day on the beach
Feel the warmth of the sun
When i close my eyes
I remember having so much fun
Walking on the sand
Singing songs and holding hands
Don’t you know, don’t you know
It was the summer that i won’t forget
Do you remember the dreams we shared together?
We put ‘em in a bottle and threw them out to sea
Do you remember the songs we sang together?
Anyway, hey hey, the games we play (that’s right)
The summer sun disappears behind the sea
And the shadows grow longer with the passing days
Colors fade as the time goes by
And i’m looking for the reason why
Our beautiful summer had to end (but)
Don’t you know, don’t you know
It was the summer that i won’t forget
Don’t you know, don’t you know
It was the summer that i won’t regret
Anyway, hey hey, the games we play
Anyway, hey hey, another day
( goldie loc )
Damn cause this spot’s gettin hot
I can’t trust the paremedics or them crooked ass cops
The closest nigga to you would do you and try to screw you
Backstab you in the back and act like he never knew you
And he could be the same nigga the switch
Playin all one minute but he really is a bitch
Now watch out for the twist
Here come them niggaz that was with you but they out to get rich
But you thought them niggaz would never do that
Until they came back strapped with them rat-tat-tat-tats
And it always ends up fucked up
When the innocent die it’ll have yo brain stuck
It’ll have yo brains stuck shit outta luck cause i’m havin bad luck
Fucked up in my younger days
Shit i’ll bang you with deuces and hang you with trays
A few days back one of homies got rugged out
Damn shame all the brothers seem drugged out
One of seeds bust a bottle over the bizis head
Say it’s yo fault that the otha bizis layin dead
But it’s a fact if you pack nigga bust back
Neva run throw our gun unless you fall rat
Hoo wooda sed that it wooda helped anyway
Wit mo guns niggaz sinnin for another day
Damn cause this spots gittin hot
Damn cause this spots gittin hot
Shits gittin hectik bustin threw my windo
Think it was my homies fucked up can’t realy call it do
If it was i’ma git him
He gunna hate it when it hit him
Damn cause this spot’s gettin hot
I can’t trust the paramedics or them crooked ass cops
The closest nigga to you wood do you and try to screw you
Backstab you in the back and act like he never knew you
( hook, butch cassidy )
Another day has come
How much longer will i run
I wanna have sum fun
Layin out in the sun
How much dirt have i done
My life has just begun
I sleep with my gun
My problems weigh a ton
( tray-dee )
I gots to say damn the program dun up and switched
Fool i used to run with and trusted snitched
Got one time on my block straight posted
Hopin that i slip but i dip and ghosted
Told my babymama it wus drama unfoldin
I kissed all my kids den commits to strollin
Wound uptown on a hot ass block
Checkin with some chickens gettin hot ass cock
Daily tray-dee’ll loose pursuit
But deez ho’s broke and don’t look to cute
So i parlay to the hard ways of jackin
Fast came to cash but the mash was crackin
I didn’t i was the one to be
Kickin summary of sum wen i let em slide up under me
But god as my witness
As a g i couldn’t see dee just goin out sensless
I stayed hard hit the yard
Pull niggaz hole cards
Had em runnin to the sarge
Jail house scars tell the part you played
Livin with a snitch jackin destined for the brake
It don’t pay to go soft
Cause when we catch you slippin real niggas takin off motherfuckers
( dee, talkin )
And that’s how we do it
Bitch ass niggaz
Out here tellin disrespectin the game
Fuckin up this realism we puttin down out here
You know what i’m sayin
Nigga need the cops to help em out
Hoe ass niggaz
Stand on ya own nigga
Live by the gun die by the gun
Nigga be a soldier
( hook )
So far girlfriend, I know your secrets
Keep them again and again until the end
Unspoken, when I’m with you I believe
That you always seem to know just what I need
More important, than the go and coming
Of our menfolk and all those troubles
When I’m broken, we will always find a way
To help each other through another day
Another day, another day
No matter what the weather brings I know the same
Our path is laid, to brighter days
We will help each other through another day
Though our time is not always perfect
When it works out the rest is worth it
Make the effort, to see things eye to eye
And then our friendship means we’re more than getting by
When I grow tired, you’re on my side
We will help each other through another day
So glad you understand my world, my world
I’m always here for you girl so you know
You don’t have to make it on your own
Here forever, we’re gonna brave the storm together
To sunny weather
It’s unspoken, we’ll always find a way
To help each other through another day
Another day, another day
In the big world we’re finding our own way
But here I stay, come what may
You can rely on me to listen all the way
‘Cause here I’ll stay
Come what may
And we will help each other through another day
What seems like such a winter’s tale
Lightening runs through the fallen flames
By kneeling down we’re here to pray
At that point forsaken unafraid
I only wanna feel you being strong
I only wanna feel you being strong
Call me up and let’s begin
Call me up and let’s begin
Another day
Call me up and let’s begin
Call me up and let’s begin
You done that to me
Feel my breath go cold and calm
My pride is last and I sin again
And all the seasons change their scent
A year of hell they come against my head once more
I only wanna feel you being strong
I only wanna feel you being strong
Call me up and let’s begin
Call me up and let’s begin
Another day
Call me up and let’s begin
Call me up and let’s begin
You done that to me
INSTRUMENTAL
Call me up and let’s begin
Call me up and let’s begin
Another day
Call me up and let’s begin
Call me up and let’s begin
You done that to me
Call me up and let’s begin
Call me up and let’s begin
Another day
Call me up and let’s begin
Call me up and let’s begin
You done that to me
Call me up and let’s begin
Call me up and let’s begin
Another day
Call me up and let’s begin
Call me up and let’s begin
You done that to me
The kettle’s on, the sun has gone, another day
She offers me, Tibetan tea, on a flower tray
She’s at the door, she’s want’s to score, she really needs to say:
‘I once loved you a long time ago, you know
Where the winds own forget-me-nots blow, you know
But I couldn’t let myself go
Not knowing what on earth there was to know
But I wish that I had, ‘cause it makes me so sad
that I never had one of your children.’
Across the room, inside a tomb, a chance is waxed and waned
The night is young, why are we so hung-up, in each other’s chains
I must take her, I must make her, while the dove domains
See the juice run as she flies
Run my wings under her sighs
As the flames of eternity rise
To lick us with the first born lash of dawn
Oh really my dear, I can’t see what we fear
With ourselves, sat here between us
And at the door, we can’t say more, than just another day
Without a sound, I turn around, and I walk away
Wake up
The dawn of another dull day
Take up
Your dreams and on your way
Oh oh ooh
Daylight
Mother stands in the hall
Last night
Head against the wall
Oh oh ooh
When night turns to day
And the children come out to play
Another day
Stop, shake out
They came my way
Oh oh ooh…
Boy, salute in a street uniform
Toy, soldier ripped and torn
Oh oh ooh
When night turns to day
And the children come out to play
Another day
Stop, shout
They came my way
Oh oh ooh
Ooohh
is it really over between us two
then why don’t you love me the way that I still love you
so many mistakes made in so little time
girl I’m so regretful I must have been outta my mind
(chorus)
I don’t wanna live another day without out by my side
I don’t wanna run anymore
running outta places to hide
ever since you went away slowly I’ve seen
that I should of got down on my knees and begged you to stay with me
and what I’m feelin for you
never could I try to hide
the fact that I adore you
always seems to come outside
you were my heart beat
the reason I breathe
please baby forgive me while I’m down on my knee
(chorus)
I don’t wanna live another day without you by my side
I don’t wanna run anymore
running outta places to hide
ever since you went away slowly I’ve seen
that I should of got down on my knees and begged you to stay with me,
(chorus)
I don’t wanna live another day without you by my side
I don’t wanna run anymore
I’m running outta places 2 hide
ever since you went away slowly I’ve seen
that I should of got down on my knees and begged you to stay with me
stay with me
I don’t wanna live another day without you by my side
I don’t wanna run anymore
running outta places to hide
ever since you went away slowly I’ve seen
that I should of got down on my knees and begged you to stay with me
I should have got down on my knees and begged you to stay with me,
Intro:
[gangstas] let’s spark up an idea, you know
[gangstas] i don’t know why you cats
[gangstas] insist to get involved in our game man
I mean, drug money, thug money, its all funny money to me
You know scared money don’t make no money man, so you know
[gangstas] if you scared stay out of the game, baby
Verse 1: kurupt
Another day, another dollar,
Another nigga jacked for his sack, jeans, and them collars
What the fuck makes life so complicated?
Why they playahatin, ‘stead of congratulatin’
One of the homies just bought a new ’64
And they mad about it, and talkin bad about
Don’t trip ‘cause you smoke dubs and he smokes ounces
Your ‘fo rolls and his ‘fo bounces
Planted on the ground and this fool skyrockets
Got a nigga hot enough to want to shake his pockets [all that shit]
Roll like biggie, nigga, two glock nines
Any muthafucka whisperin about mine
All i got is, my twelve shottie
I’m a gangsta nigga, kurupt young gotti
Me and gonzoe and capone, with a chrome
And a bone with a zone fucked up gettin blown (yeah)
Chorus:
[don’t it feel good to survive another day]
Scared money don’t make no money, [heyyyyy]
Cause uh, drug money, thug money’s funny money, [and uh]
[don’t it feel good to survive another day]
[check it out] this fear money don’t take no money
[‘cause uh], scared money don’t make no money [‘cause uh]
Verse 2: capone
Now i was standin alone against the cold world outside
Without no place to hide, or no will to survive
Thinkin who can i run to? basically
It was the big homie to go get the heat is what it come to
I look around, from the gate i’ve been down,
But i’m still broke as fuck, depressed and down
Sometimes i fuck around and wish i wasn’t here today,
Now here to say sometimes it scares me to feel this way
Ain’t there a name for this? ain’t there a phrase that fits?
Ain’t it called psycho, schizo, paranoia or some shit, trip?
With the mentality of a kid in the village of the damned
Walking through the hood with a gun in my hands
I had plans to be a superstar, rappin the rock,
But all that stopped and dropped once the hammer was cocked
I had to get out of dodge, i ain’t tryina hide
I’m just tryin to find a way to stay alive and survive, right [right]
Chorus:
[don’t it feel good to survive another day]
Scared money don’t make no money, [heyyyyy]
Cause uh, drug money, thug money’s funny money, [and uh]
[don’t it feel good to survive another day]
[check this out] this fear money don’t take no money, [whu?]
[‘cause uh], scared money don’t make no money, [‘cause uh]
Verse 3: gonzoe
Nigga gotta stay strong ‘cause the weak die
Please god separate my life from the bad times, sufferin
Survivin ain’t enough to cover it, ‘cause i spend to much
Plus i’m scrapin the tops of my pies to make crusts
So kurupt, nigga tell me how i’m ‘sposed to feel
Notice my attitude, drinkin, only smokin the real
And it feels so good in the car with us
Lavishly, feel the extasy, bustin a nut
Another day, a nigga worship his weed and alize,
And the pussy i’m fuckin ????
And ain’t no scars on my daytons, my shit intact
And that’s real candy paint, all original lat’
It’s so depressin, a thug with a hustle, no one messes,
And i’m destined i’m kissin my gun so you can bless it, nigga
Another day another dollar
Yeah nigga, it’s me, gonzoe
Don’t act funny, haha
Outro:
[suprise] them promises didn’t do nothing for me
[suprise] it’s time to set ourselves free
[suprise] but as time marches on,
[suprise] the races grow strong, stronger than ajax
[suprise] and niggaz wanna be free, but they still watch tv
[suprise], even though they can’t see
[suprise] and our chinese brothers don’t cop no pleas
[suprise], for they’re into unity isn’t that
[suprise] the way we want to be? but the man
[suprise] watches the music, ‘cause the black people are confused
[suprise] conquered and divided, tricked and undecided
[suprise], and the good guys are there
[suprise], with slugs [heyyyy] in the air but the rain still falls
[suprise] and the (chorus) sun still rises and the man man
Man is still full of trickies [suprise niggas]

( hook )
She wears her anger like a sweater
And it keeps her warm at night
You know i’d love to undress her
But we’d only fight
I stumbled into her picture
It’s all in black and white
And the heroine’s the villain
We’ll never get it right
She gets me tied to the track in seconds
Train whistle blows but i’m flat on my back
She pretends that it’s not me
I sift through her words for answers
And it all snaps into place
But she denies all allegations–
Throws them back in my face
She gets me tied to the track in seconds
Train whistle blows but i’m flat on my back
She pretends that she can’t see me lying here
It’s just another day
Just another day
It’s just another day
Just another day
A critical word’s a betrayal
But the judge won’t state my crime
When i find myself on trial
I always end up doing time
Another day on the track
Another day on my back
The sky looks blue and all but i’m tied to the track
She pretends that she can’t hear me falling apart

Woke up this morning looking at the screen
There’s a couple of men talking
I’m not sure what they mean
There’s a conversation many men running wild
We learn about the world while they’re fighting in the aisles
Here we go
What do you say, what do you know
You’ve got your life and you watch it away
It’s just another day in this old town
So get down
Home shopping channel’s got us by the eyes
Scrambling to the phones ordering porcelain flies
Talk to the women talk to the wives
Everybody’s buying important things for their lives
Here we go
What do you say, what do you know
You’ve got your life and you watch it away
It’s just another day in this old town
So get down
He’s a high performance engine with jesus as the fuel
Old father’s handing out forty acres and a mule
Preaching the word of prosperity
Make a little more money they might just put you on t.v.
Here we go
What do you say, what do you know
You’ve got your life and you watch it away
Ain’t no big thing it’s just another day
Ain’t no big thing so let it ring
Let it ring george
Turn off the lights honey then turn off the set
Life around here don’t make a lot of damn sense
As i closed my eyes i saw in my mind
Somebody selling me a nickle for a dime
Here we go
What do you say, what do you know
You’ve got your life and you watch it away
It’s just another day in this old town
So get down, ain’t no big thing so let it ring
In this old town so get down
It’s another day so go ahead
Go ahead
Everybody go
Woke up lyin’ on the floor
Can’t recall the night before
Oh – another day
Outside it’s cold and damp
Unemployment cheque is spent
Yeah – another day
Some people never know
You can’t just let it go
Or try and work it out some other way
Some people never learn
My life ain’t their concern
And nothin’s gonna change come what may
Had a job but it fell through
Landlord says the rent is due
Oh – another day
They say the best in life is free
But if you don’t pay then you don’t eat
Oh – another day
I guess I’ll never know
You can’t just let it go
Or try to work it out some other way
Some people never learn
Their life ain’t my concern
Ain’t nothin’ gonna change come what may
Grass looks greener on the other side
But I can’t get there my hands are tied
And if I do don’t be surprised
Oh – gotta figure it out another day
The sun rises slowly
On another day
The eastern sky grows
Cold
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey
Something
Something holds me
Holds me hypnotized
I stare at the window
Stare at the window
Waiting for the day
To go
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey

Verse i:
Only hours have gone by
And yet a flood of tears
I’ve cried struggling with fear
And now i’m losing you
I’m torn inside
And i’ve been so blind
Cause i never quite
Believed that you would want to leave
Must we let this night end
With broken hearts unmend
From hurtful words, selfishly said
Chorus:
Let’s not go another
Having such burdens in our hearts
With these tears falling from her eyes
Can we just swallow our pride
Let’s not go another day
And have the pain inside remain
Should the next morning sun arise
I want you by my side
Verse ii:
Only silence filled the room day by day
Living like strangers without words to say
We’ve gone on far too long
To live like this
Our lips are sealed in what we feel
Wounded what we feel, afraid of letting it go
Pride wanting us to go
And walk straight out of that door
I want to know…i want to know
Do you love me any more
Chorus:
Let’s not go another day
Having such burdens in our hearts
With these tears falling from our eyes
Can we just swallow our pride
Let’s not go another day
Have the pain inside me remain
Should the next morning sun arise
I want you by my side
Bridge:
Why do we spend
Each night in pain and lonliness
Please tell me why do we let this carry on
Chorus:
Let’s not go another day
(go another day)
Having such burdens in our hearts
(in our hearts)
With these tears falling from our eyes
(falling from our eyes)
Can we just swallow our pride
Let’s not go another day
(swallow my pride, i’m dying inside)
Let’s not go another day
(let’s not go another day)
And have the pain inside remain
(can’t this be you mean the world to me)
Should the next morning sun arise
I want you by my side (i want you by my side)
(let’s put it behind, all the hurting inside)
Let’s not go another day
(let’s not go another day)
Having such burdens in our hearts
(so why don’t we stop the tears from our eyes)
Falling from our eyes
(cause i want you by my side)
Swallow my pride
(swallow my pride, i’m dying inside)
Let’s not go another day
(let’s not go another day,
I can’t let this be you mean the world to me)
Should the next morning sun arise
(cause i want you by my side)
Let’s not go another day
Having such burdens in our hearts
With these tears falling from our eyes
Can we just swallow our pride
Let’s not go another day
Have the pain inside remain
Should the next morning sun arise
I want you by my side
Live another day
Climb a little higher
Find another reason to stay
Ashes in your hands
Mercy in your eyes
If you’re searching for a silent sky…
Chorus:
You won’t find it here
Look another way
You won’t find it here
So die another day
The coldness of his words
The message in his silence
‘Face the candle to the wind…’
This distance in my voice
Isn’t leaving you a choice
So if you’re looking for a time to run away…
Chorus
They took pictures of our dreams
Ran to hide behind the stairs
And said maybe when it’s right for you, they’ll fall
But if they don’t come down
Resist the need to pull them in
And throw them away
Better to save the mystery
Than surrender to the secret
Chorus
– john petrucci
Live another day
Climb a little higher
Find another reason to stay
Ashes in your hands
Mercy in your eyes
If you’re searching for a silent sky…
You won’t find it here
Look another way
You won’t find it here
So die another day
The coldness of his words
The message in his silence,
‘face the candle to the wind…’
This distance in my voice
Isn’t leaving you a choice
So if you’re looking for a time to run away…
You won’t find it here
Look another way
You won’t find it here
So try another day
They took pictures of our dreams
Ran to hide behind the stairs
And said maybe when it’s right for you, they’ll fall
But if they don’t come down
Resist the need to pull them in
And throw them away
Better to save the mystery
Than surrender to the secret
You won’t find it here
Look another way
You won’t find it here
So try another day

Jt on sony.com: the song’s been waiting for a verse since 1985 when i first put it down at air studios, montserrat. frank was at the console then too.
Wake up suzy
Put your shoes on
Walk with me into this light
Finally this morning
I’m feeling whole again
It was a hell of a night
Just to be with you by my side
Just to have you near in my sight
Just to walk a while in this light
Just to know that life goes on
Wake up suzy
Put your shoes on
Walk with me into this light
Another night has gone
Life goes on
Another dawn is breaking
Turn and face the sun
One by one
The world outside is waking
Morning light has driven away
All the shadows that hide your way
And night has given away
To the promise of another day
Another day
Another chance that we may
Finally find our way
Another day
The sun has begun
To melt all our fears away
Another day
Another day
Oh wake up suzy
Put your shoes on
Walk with me into this light
Sun invaded this morning
As i cultured a pearl in my bed
Hope i can lift my arms know i can’t raise my head
The silence is silenced so sweetly
As i rise with my dug-out in hand
And after your courthouse defeates me
Know i’ve got to get high with my band
Hope i can make it just one more day
Been three long weeks since my lips touched your face
If i’m not willing have i lost the game
If i cannot run the race
I’ll just wait for another day
Another day (x4)
Feel like i’ve had enough of what you said
And i won’t bother the rock that your under
Got freedom from myself for another day
Another day (x4)
Another day (x4)
Another day i’m happy to see
Another day
I might as well just be me on another day
Another day without
Sun invaded this morning
As i cultured a pearl in my bed
Hope i can lift my arms know i can’t raise my head
The silence is silenced so sweetly
As i rise with my dug-out in hand
And after your courthouse defeates me

Hope i can make it just one more day
Been three long weeks since my lips touched your face
If i’m not willing have i lost the game
If i cannot run the race
I’ll just wait for another day
Another day (x4)
Feel like i’ve had enough of what you said
And i won’t bother the rock that your under
Got freedom from myself for another day
Another day (x4)
Another day (x4)

You can’t imagine
How it’s so true
That we all need somebody
Someone like you
But lately I’ve been feelin’ so confused
I’m not thinkin’ about tomorrow
or what the heck I’m gonna do
‘Cause I still love you
You know that it’s true
Yea I still love you
I believe we’ll make it through
Chorus
Another day in paradise
Where dreams are made
And worlds collide
Another day in paradise
Forever lost in time
Another day in paradise
We’re not afraid
We don’t think twice
Let’s put the rest out of our minds
And leave it for another day
Another day x3
I need a lover
I need a friend
Yeah we all need a lot of things
I know we should have said
But in a moment life can fall away
And that’s why I’ll keep believin’
There’ll be another day
‘Cause I still love you
You know that it’s true
Yea I still love you
‘Cause I believe we’ll make it through
Chorus
I used to pray every night when I was younger
On my knees, folding hands for my mother
And my mother used to say when she was younger
She used to go to bed filled with hunger
The same hunger got her working even harder
Got her traveling to norway from ghana
She said “my son, we’re blessed
Now let’s say our father”
Ups and downs, that’s how life go
What’s high if you don’t know low?
So I try not to complain
Appreciate life so I keep saying
Another day goes by, another day goes by
And I thank God that I’m alive
I think I was about ten years old
Watching the news with my dad
I didn’t see nothing but tears and blood
And a bunch of people looking so mad
“That’s war”, I was told
I said “how? That ain’t nothing like the games I have”
I couldn’t grasp the sense of an innocent child
Dying by the hands of a grown man
And while some kids raised on cartoons
Young girls making money in dark rooms
We all deserve a decent meal
Why his belly so soft?
Why she holding that hard spoon?
And where is my head of state?
If crime pays, talk peace
Still engaging in heavy arms trade
In the jungle that we call sin city
While life rules, survival of the fittest
Another day goes by, another day goes by
And I thank God that I’m alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah, yeah
Why, why, why, why
Yeah, eh, eh, eh, eh
Thank go that I’m alive
