One Day at a Time
Embracing Life's Rhythm: One Day at a Time
Lyrics
Angels sing and buzzards fly
Contrast between positive (angels singing) and negative (buzzards flying) elements, suggesting the duality of life.
Kingdoms fall and rivers rise
Reference to the impermanence of power (kingdoms fall) and the ever-changing nature of life (rivers rise).
It's all the same since the sin is alive
Life is consistent in its imperfection as sin persists.
Some are free but we're all doing time
Despite some being free, everyone is bound by the passage of time.
One day at a time smell the roses taste the wine
Encouragement to appreciate the present, metaphorically represented by smelling roses and tasting wine.
One day at a time no stop signs or red lights
Emphasis on living without unnecessary restrictions or hindrances, symbolized by no stop signs or red lights.
That wheel keeps turning on and on, day and night
The relentless progression of time, continuously moving forward day and night.
No one survives ain't no use in cryin'
Life is challenging, and no one escapes difficulties; crying is futile.
What ain't dead is surely dyin' one day at a time
Acknowledgment that what is not currently facing challenges will inevitably decline, emphasizing the transience of life.
Money burns and good gold shines
Material wealth is fleeting (money burns), while moral integrity (good gold) endures.
Dreamers dream and finders find
Those who dream find purpose, and seekers discover meaning.
World keeps spinnin' round and round
Expresses the cyclical nature of the world, continually rotating.
Save our souls before it all comes down
A call to preserve the essence of humanity before its potential decline.
One day at a time smell the roses taste the wine
Reiteration of the importance of savoring the present moment.
One day at a time no stop signs or red lights
Emphasizes a life without unnecessary constraints or warnings.
That wheel keeps turning on and on, day and night
The unceasing progression of time, indifferent to individual experiences.
No one survives ain't no use in cryin'
Life is challenging, and despair is futile.
What ain't dead is surely dyin' one day at a time
Reiteration that everything not facing challenges will eventually decline, highlighting life's impermanence.
One day at a time smell the roses taste the wine
Encouragement to continuously appreciate life's beauty.
One day at a time no stop signs or red lights
Stress on living without unnecessary restrictions or warnings.
That wheel keeps turning on and on, day and night
Time's relentless march, unaffected by individual circumstances.
No one survives ain't no use in cryin'
Facing challenges is universal, and despair is ineffective.
One day at a time smell the roses taste the wine
Encouragement to appreciate life's pleasures in the present.
One day at a time no stop signs or red lines
Advocacy for a life free from unnecessary restrictions or limitations.
That wheel keeps turning on and on, day and night
Time's unstoppable progression, unaffected by external factors.
No one survives ain't no use in cryin'
Recognition that facing challenges is universal, and crying is futile.
What ain't dead is surely dyin' one day at a time
Reiteration that everything not currently facing challenges will ultimately decline, emphasizing life's transience.
