"One More Day" lyrics

"One More Day"

One more day alone, one more night without a home
One more tear that never falls for you
One more place to lie, one more meal to try to buy
One more heart that's calling me from the blue

Children living in the streets where they play
While nearby an old man cries
Brother, can you, can you spare a dime?
Mother's feed their families words of hope
Keepin' faith in their fellow man
While they cope with rejection and despair

Today's sorrow could be yours tomorrow
Remember the tables can turn
You can't judge a book, a book by its cover
And that's a lesson we all can learn

One more day alone, one more night without a home
One more tear that never falls for you
One more place to lie, one more meal to try to buy
One more heart that's calling me from the blue

The cost of living is goin' up every day
While the chance of living is going down
Though some may say things could get worse
Tell that to a hungry child or a dad without a job
When hungry homeless families become an angry mob
Nature takes its course

One man's pleasure is another man's pain
But the tables can turn
What goes around today comes back around tomorrow
Let the light of love in your heart burn

One more day alone, one more night without a home
One more tear that never falls for you
One more place to lie, one more meal to try to buy
One more heart that's calling me from the blue

One more day alone, one more night without a home
One more tear that never falls for you
One more place to lie, one more meal to try to buy
One more heart that's calling me from the blue

Let's take some time to view the overall situation
The same thing is happenin' all across the nation
It's kids with no shoes on their feet, wandering in the streets
Beggin' for money so they can eat
Why don't you make their day for me?

But not for me for the kids so they can live with their families
Together with unity and harmony
And educate the people so that poverty can cease
And we can all live together in peace one more day

One more day alone, one more night without a home
One more tear that never falls for you
One more place to lie, one more meal to try to buy
One more heart that's calling me from the blue

One more day alone, one more night without a home
One more tear that never falls for you
One more place to lie, one more meal to try to buy
One more heart that's calling me from the blue

One more day alone, one more night without a home
One more tear that never falls for you
One more place to lie, one more meal to try to buy
One more heart that's calling me from the blue
