[Verse 1] Sun haffi rise, mi rise too slow Kettle boil, but the whole place know One foot forward, one foot press Same old road, but mi still progress Palm tree bend, zinc roof shake Cloud dem dark like a big mistake Mi lock di door, mi hold mi ground Hear di whole yard make a broken sound [Pre-Chorus] But mi nuh run, mi nuh fold Mi leave di fear out inna di cold If di sky waan bark, let it bark Mi keep one light inna di dark [Chorus] One day at a time One day at a time If the big wind come We still stand fine One day at a time One day at a time Hurricane blow through Mi soul still shine [Verse 2] Market bag swing, rain start ta slap Old road flood, but we know dat trap Children laugh while di tin tin ring Barefoot dance to a "Rude Man" swing Neighbour shout, “Yow, yuh good?” Mi shout back, “Yeah, how da neighbourhood” Breadfruit bun and a little salt Joy in di cracks, yeah life nuh ver halt [Pre-Chorus] When di waves climb high And di mango tree cry Mi breathe in slow Mi let it go [Chorus] One day at a time One day at a time If the big wind come We still stand fine One day at a time One day at a time Hurricane blow through Mi soul still shine [Instrumental solo] [Bridge] If di roof fly off, we nail it back If di night come hard, we light up a track Bone-deep tired, but mi heart still warm Storm can roar, but it cyaan harm [Chorus] One day at a time One day at a time If the big wind come We still stand fine One day at a time One day at a time Hurricane blow through Mi soul still shine
