One Day (feat. Queen Latifah)

As I look back on my life

And see where I come from

I wonder if I

Ever gonna see the tables turn?

'Cause I been way too low

For way too long

But I know somehow

Someway

My change gon' come

I was down

Far from the shore

I was weak in my soul

Facing trouble

Tears on the floor

I was tired and worn

Couldn't find no peace

Down on my knees

I was lost in a storm

But I knew the Lord heard my cry

So one day, I won't worry no more

'Cause just when I was about to give up

I heard Jesus say, Jesus said

Change gon' come one day

Streets wasn't safe

I couldn't find my way

But I found his grace

One day

Tears down my face

Jesus said, Jesus said

Change gon' come one day

One day, yeah

I knew it would happen for me

One day

All the while, in this battle

I'm prayin' Lord can you heal me?

Upside down

And the world don't care

I'm hurtin', need me a healin'

And I'll take a drink or two

Just to get me through

Through the darkest of days

But the wages of sin is death

I got nothing left

But one prayer and one praise

'Cause just when I was about to give up

I heard Jesus say, Jesus said

Change gon' come one day

Streets wasn't safe

I couldn't find my way

But I found his grace

One day

Tears down my face

Jesus said, Jesus said

Change gone come, one day

One day

I knew it would happen for me

One day

Everything turned around

Yeah, Lord

He said it would happen one day

People were talkin' 'bout me

See me out in the streets

And I'd have no food

No shoes on my feet

But I knew, one day

The Lord was gonna step right in

And change my situation

Won't he do it? Yes, he will

Oh, yeah

Yes, he will

Yes, he did

Yes, he did

Yeah, yeah

I was locked up in jail

One day

I knew he would take that gun out of my hand

Take me out of that drug den

Take me off that bottle, Lord

Take me off that crack,  Lord

Take me off them pills, Lord

He would put clothes on my back

Shoes on my feet

Days in my house

Yes he will

Yes he will, will

Yeah, yeah

Oh, I knew there's a chance, chance, chance, chance, chance

Chance, chance, chance, chance, chance

Was gonna come
