There is one thing that every peace-loving person desires in this life: that is world peace. Villains in movies believe that peace is impossible, especially world peace where even couples can't find peace in their marriage. Of course that is an overstatement. Couple conflicts are inevitable. In fact, in healthy relationships, conflict is essential.
One day is a song by Bugoy Drilon, a local artist. The first time I heard the song, I thought it was foreign because I seldom hear a song almost reggae as this one. So happy to discover that its a Filipino artist who offered another interpretation of an Matisyahu piece.
The song struck me because of the martial law in Marawi due to the attacks of the Maute group, which is now considered a terror group in the Philippines. The worst population affected there are the children. They can no longer go to schools because of the wrath of continuous bombings which damaged public buildings, including schools and businesses.
It is really a desire for everyone, that
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day
ONE DAY - Bugoy Drilon
Sometimes I lay under the moon
And thank God I’m breathing
Then I pray, "Don’t take me soon"
‘Cause I am here for a reason
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know some day it’ll all turn around because…
All my life I’ve been waiting for
I’ve been praying for
For the people to say
That we don’t wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day [x6]
It’s not about win or lose
Because we all lose
When they feed on the souls of the innocent
Blood-drenched pavement
Keep on moving though the waters stay raging
In this maze you can lose your way (your way)
It might drive you crazy but don’t let it faze you no way (no way)
Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown)
But I never let it get me down (get me down)
So when negativity surrounds (surrounds)
I know some day it’ll all turn around because…
All my life I’ve been waiting for
I’ve been praying for
For the people to say
That we don’t wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day [x6]
One day this all will change
Treat people the same
Stop with the violence
Down with the hate
One day we’ll all be free
And proud to be
Under the same sun
Singing songs of freedom like
One day [x2]
All my life I’ve been waiting for
I’ve been praying for
For the people to say
That we don’t wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day
