I say don't hang yourself with no rope,
Have faith and continue live up in hope.

Everybody bawling, one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.
Everybody bawling one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.

You might not be able to buy a house,
Upon the hillside.
Find it difficult just to purchase a ride.
But you can live 'pon the flat,
Take a bus and still survive.
All you got to do is, get yourself organized.
'Cause the wickedest thing,
Is when you don't have hope.
And you full of despair,
And you receive and get deceive.
And you just don't believe,
That you can reach somewhere.

Everybody bawling, one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.
Everybody bawling one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.

'Cause there is ups and down and turn around,
In everybody life.
But you must learn and stay firm,
And keep you goal in sight.
Get up stand up and live up,
And fight with all your might.
And one day one day me say,
Your future will bright.
Because who Jah Jah bless I must confess.
Say no guy can cuss,
And mi granny always say.
Grandson, one day you must pass the worse.

Everybody bawling, one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.
Everybody bawling one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.

You must always be optimistic, inna you thought.
Check say the future, a go better than the past.
Anything you do you do it, straight from the heart.
And tek weh you get, till you get weh you want.
Because the strain and the pain,
And economical gain me know you can't keep up.
Mi know it rough mi know it tough,
But you still must stand up.
Mi know it hot but hush.

Everybody bawling, one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.
Everybody bawling one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.

You might get up every day,
And see things a run.
And question yourself say,
How you no get none.
But, humble daughter, patient son,
Soon and very soon, fi you slice a go come.
'Cause it's no fun and it's no joke,
Mi say you must have aspiration and dreams.
And if, so be the case,
Well you better make haste,
Find the ways and means.

Everybody bawling, one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.
Everybody bawling one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.

You might not be able to buy a house,
Upon the hillside.
Find it difficult just to purchase a ride.
But you can live 'pon the flat,
Take a bus and still survive.
All you got to do is, get yourself organized.
'Cause the wickedest thing,
Is when you don't have hope.
And you full of despair,
And you receive and get deceive.
And you just don't believe,
That you can reach somewhere.

Everybody bawling, one day, one day.
Everybody hoping somehow, someway.
