One Day
by Christa Wells

Album: Velveteen

Verse 1
It's hard to sing when you're crying
Hard to leave when you're tied down
It's hard to sleep when you're fighting
For your life like you are right now
There's only so much more you can stomach
Though it's more than you thought
And you only keep moving
By the grace of God

Chorus
You're doing one day, one breath, one prayer
One thing at a time
One word, one step, one hope
In a coming light
Don't try to swallow the ocean
Keep doing one day
'Til one day you're free

Verse 2
You could escape in a daydream
But you'd wind up right back here
Up to your waist in the maybes
No use hiding on the back stairs
Hear the peculiar voice in the forest
Calling open the doors
It'll take a few battles
To win this war

Chorus 2
An you'll do it one day, one breath, one prayer
One thing at a time
One word, one step, one hope
In a coming light
Don't try to swallow the ocean
Keep doing one day
'Til one day you're free
One day you're free

Bridge
Oh, I see you laughing on the other side
Where the walls have tumbled and the flowers grow wild
Oh, I see you laughing on the other side
With your broken heart under open sky

Chorus 3
One day, one breath, one prayer
One thing at a time
One word, one step, one hope
In a coming light
One day, one breath, one prayer
One thing at a time
One word, one step, one hope
In a coming light
Don't try to swallow the ocean
Keep doing one day
'Til one day you're free
One day you're free
