One Day

A song I wrote for my little sister, Grace and my best friend, Annie. Sounds better when I sing it with the guitar, but figured I'd post it anyway.

 

One Day

 

Walk a little while.

Listen for me, I’m right here beside you

Don’t worry, I will guide you along

I’ll be here to see you through.

 

Look around,

Open your eyes let the world fill you,

Don’t let your sorrows overcome you

There’s so much here to amaze

Oh, how could you think

Of giving it up?

 

Ask yourself, what this is really for

Look into my eyes

I know you feel abandoned

Left behind and stranded

 

Lost everything for which you stand

Think there’s no getting it back.

But you’re wrong, just be strong.

It won’t be easy, sometimes you will break down.

But you can put yourself back together again.

 

 

Yeah, one day you will find

You’re gonna be just fine.

 

No don’t worry

About the little things

I’ll take care of them for you.

No don’t worry

'Bout those cruel people out there

I’ll fend them off for you.

 

I will protect you

No one no neglect you no more

Just put yourself back together.

 

And one day you’ll find,

You’re gonna be just fine.

 

You'll never see yourself

You’ll never see how far you’ve come

How strong you've become.

Darling, don’t let the world get you down

 

You don't believe in yourself

You’ve lost your faith

And lost your wealth

Can't get you're feet back on the ground.

 

The gray in the skies

Well that’s just your own mind

Filling up the space

Where your heart should shine

 

I know they’ve all let you down

But you can turn this around

You don’t have far to fall

But why descend at all?

 

Don’t let go, hold on to me tight.

You’ll see, you’re gonna be all right.

 

You’re drifting around

In this cloud that you’re in,

Don’t know what’s down,

And the strings are so thin

That bind you to reality,

So close your eyes, let go.

 

Then, one day you will find,

That you’ve healed, you’re just fine.

 

All you want is love

But you’re searching all the wrong places.

Just stop, you have everything you need.

Don't look so hard, and you will see

 

 

You’re in pieces

I’m trying to build you back up.

I know I’m just a mess myself.

No higher up from where you fell.

 

But none of that matters now,

Together we’ll rebuild

We can’t make progress

Without the strongest will.

 

So keep fighting,

Keep climbing.

 

Oh, don't you see?

 

One day you will find

You’re gonna be just fine.

Author's Note

Love to Annie and Grace, you're gonna be alright, I promise.
