[Intro – spoken, low, distant] Yeah… They keep sayin’ breathe But the room keep shrinkin’ I just need— [Chorus] If I can make it through Just one more day No applause, no parade Just space to stay sane If the walls close in And the truth don’t behave I don’t need forever I just need one more day [Chorus] If I can make it through Just one more day No crown, no escape Just room to stay If the world cave in And the lines all gray I don’t need a lifetime I just need one more day [Chorus – half-spoken, heat rising] They call it progress But it feel like pressure Call it connection But I never felt lesser Call it freedom But read the fine print Call it peace While they fund the conflict (beat drops to near silence) Tell me— Who breathin’ free in the hot box? [Final Chorus – softer, then lift] If we can make it through Just one more day No lies rehearsed No mask to play Even if hope feel late And grace feel delayed We don’t need the answers Just one more day [Outro – spoken, calm] Yeah… One more breath One more moment One more day That’s enough For now.
