You feel like you're falling backwards Like you're slippin' through the cracks Like no one would even notice If you left this town and never came back You walk outside, and all you see is rain You look inside, and all you feel is pain And you can't see it now But down the road the sun is shining In every cloud, there's a silver lining Just keep holding on (Just keep holding on) And every heartache makes you stronger But it won't be much longer You'll find love, you'll find peace And the you you're meant to be I know right now that's not the way you feel But one day you will You wake up every morning and ask yourself What am I doing here anyway? With the weight of all those disappointments Whispering in your ear You're just barely hanging by a thread You wanna scream But you're down to your last breath But you don't know it yet But down the road the sun is shining In every cloud there's a silver lining Just keep holding on (Just keep holding on) And every heartache makes you stronger But it won't be much longer You'll find love, you'll find peace And the you you're meant to be I know right now that's not the way you feel But one day you will Find the strength to rise above You will Find just what you're made of, you're made of Down the road the sun is shining In every cloud, there's a silver lining Just keep holding on (Just keep holding on) And every heartache makes you stronger But it won't be much longer You'll find love, you'll find peace And the you you're meant to be I know right now that's not the way you feel I know right now that's not the way you feel But one day you will One day you will Oh, one day you will

I know some things that you won't understand till you're older I know some things that'll take more than time getting over She'll break your heart Then you'll jump in your car Drive for hours and cry on the shoulder Take it from me When you watch someone leave It can feel like you'll never get closure But one day, you will Until then, you'll feel Like your world's hanging by a string I swear your heart Knows how to heal Even when you've tried everything You can't see it clearly Right now But one day, you will One day you will One day you will One day you will You'll figure it out just to fall right back down even further You'll stay there alone, hold it all on your own like it's armor And you'll blame yourself 'Stead of asking for help You'll believe that you'll never get better But one day, you will Until then, you'll feel Like your world's hanging by a string I swear your heart Knows how to heal Even when you've tried everything You can't see it clearly Right now But one day, you will One day you will One day you will One day you will You can't see it clearly Right now But one day, you will

Ooh, ooh You go to bed just to learn it was all a dream Day after day, just a yearnin' for something in between Kneeling down beside your bed, praying for a sign And everything your mama said is just a waste of time But one day, one day, we'll all be free You go to church just to be sold Why you deserve to die It's just like having your fortune told But never asking why Or more like having one of God's creations Tied up on a leash (uh-uh) Makes you wonder who controls the nations If we never had peace One day, one day, we'll all be free Ooh-ooh You go to school just to learn about what never existed But if your history only burns, it's better to resist it Keepin' it Franklin, Benjamin Bannaker was never born a slave And-ah, if George Washington never told no lie Maybe we'd all be saved One day, one day, we'll all be free (One day, one day, we'll all be free) (One day, one day, we'll all be free) (One day, one day, we'll all be free) One day, one day, we'll all be free One day, one day we'll all be free (yes we will, yes we will) One day, one day (one day, one glorious day) we will all be free (Talking 'bout you, talking 'bout me) one day, one day we'll all be free One day, one day, we will all be, all be

I want to live in a land of lakes Where the great waves break And the night runs right into the day I wanna be with ones I left But I'm way out West And the years keep on slipping away Want to run on the sacred dunes Through the ancient ruins Where the fires of my ancestors burn I remember the fateful day when I ran away And you told me I couldn't return You made me swear I'd never forget I made a vow I'd see you again I will be back one day And I'll find you there by the great big lake I been running a long, long time Trying to flee that life But I can't seem to leave it behind Wanna visit the windswept shores of the time before When the moon and the stars were aligned I remember the bright spring day When you sparked a flame And a fire that continues to burn I remember the day I left headin' way out West When you told me to never return You made me swear I'd never forget I made a vow I'd see you again I will be back one day And I'll find you there by the great big lake I will be back one day And I'll find you there by the great big lake
