One Day


Year after year, day after day

we find ourselves stuck in the same place.

Being told what to do, being told how to think,

twelve years of our lives pass by in a blink.

But why? There’s gotta be a reason.

Are we just watching life go by season after season?

 

No. One day, some day things will change.

Answer your call and find your place.

Find that job that makes you content,

Live the dream as a child you dreamt. 

Save the planet, find the cure,

Make a difference in this great big world.

 

A job can change your life,

Your life can change man and the planet alike.
