One Fine Day Lyrics by Jim Cuddy

One Fine Day

You were born on a windswept mornUnder the summer skyThey moved you past all the kids in your classYou never even asked whyOh the golden daysLying awake at nightHearing the ocean sprayNobody counting the lives you've costNo mothers crying for sons they've lostNobody watching at allJust you and the road as it curves and bendsDoing little jobs for your daddy's friendsOne day when the world is rightWe're going to walk in the bright blue lightWhen your kingdom's goneAnd your friends moved onWe're going to watch you fallWe're going to watch it allOne fine dayStuck your hand in a desert landHoping that liberty shinesCounting the sins of the ones you put inSweeping the roads for minesIt's funny how it all works outYou sleep sound at nightMe I have my doubtsI see a people all tired and tornMoving along like a gathering stormYou see nothing at allWalking around with your head in the cloudsPraying to God that it all works outOne day when the world is rightWe're going to walk in the
bright blue lightWhen your kingdom's goneAnd your friends moved onWe're going to watch you fallWe're going to watch it allOne fine dayNobody waves good-byeWhen you sneak away one nightUnder the blood red skyLeaving a town where hope's gone coldA little more helpless than it was beforeListen close you'll hearA cry comes back from the burning sandOne more kid in a broken landOne day when the world is rightWe're going to walk in the bright blue lightWhen your kingdom's goneAnd your friends moved onWe're going to watch you fallOne day when the world is rightWe're going to walk in the broad daylightWhen your kingdom's goneAnd your friends moved onWe're going to watch you fallWe're going to watch you crawlOne fine day
