The flipside of my whole slacker thing, this song is about that ambitious internal flame that makes me kind of person who always gets back in the ring for another round, no matter how many times I get knocked down (or knock myself down).
lyrics
One More Day
By Seamus Anthony
Seen a lot of faces turned upwards,
Seen a lot of heads turn away.
Seen a lot of weird,
Shit, and I seen your beard,
And the hair on your head turning grey.
Seen a lot of tears well up in eyes,
And slowly roll down sad cheeks.
Seen a lot of cold winters of ice,
When single days dragged on for weeks.
Seen a lot of anger,
I've seen a lot of pain and fear.
Ate a lot of cold pizza,
I've drunk a lot of warm beer.
Seen a lot of mayhem,
Lot of trouble, lot of strife,
But I aint never seen nothin',
That never made we want to give up on life.
Seen a lot of people go backwards,
And disappear from whence they came.
Seen a lot of people point fingers,
Seen a lot of people lay blame.
But there is a fire,
And it never will die.
There is always a reason,
But there's not always a reason why...
