One of these days we will rise above this place
Even if we have to crawl there
Even with these ink stains on our face.
One of these days these pills will be taken away
These pains and depressions
Cured in a single strenuous exercise session.
One of these days these walls will return to dust
Mankind will live under a mellow maybe
Instead of this boot-clicking must.
A “sinners” psychosis replaced
With a beginner's
Misunderstanding
Those elbows and eye-gouging rat races replaced
With a homegrown tomato
Picked and eaten with family
One of these days all these chains and handcuffs
Melted into hand shovels, hoes or rakes
One of these days we will die
Our tears and skin will disappear
One of these days I willl forget missing you
I'll forget you're not here
One of these days
One day
One day
One day we will learn
One day
...
