Lyrics The Neville Brothers

The Neville Brothers

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
