Lyrics
When we were young we used to say
Reflecting on youthful optimism and the belief that the future holds positive changes.
Things would be different
Expressing the expectation that circumstances will be transformed.
One fine day
Anticipating a specific, exceptional day when positive changes will occur.
The walls would crumble
Imagining the breaking down of barriers or obstacles.
Nations sing as one
Envisioning a unified world where nations come together harmoniously.
We live in hope
Maintaining hope despite current circumstances.
Cause so far it hasn't come
Acknowledging that the anticipated positive change hasn't materialized so far.
Listening to the pouring rain
Observing the sound of rain and contemplating the need for change.
Waiting for the world to change
Being patient and hopeful for a transformation in the world.
Beginning to wonder if we'll wait in vain
Questioning whether the wait for change will be futile.
For one fine day
Reiterating the desire for a remarkable day when positive changes occur.
Oh, how years change
Reflecting on the passage of time and how priorities and aspirations change.
The things for which we strive
Contemplating whether the pursuit is for a better world or a peaceful, ordinary life.
A better world, or just a quiet life
Questioning the simplicity of initial aspirations that still seem distant.
What seemed so simple
Highlighting the contrast between past simplicity and current distance from goals.
Is still so far away
Emphasizing that the envisioned positive changes are still far from realization.
Don't hold you breath waiting
Advising against expecting immediate transformation and urging patience.
For one fine day
Repeating the caution not to hold one's breath for the awaited day of change.
Listenin' to the pouring rain
Reiterating the contemplation of change while listening to the rain.
Waiting for the world to change
Maintaining the anticipation of a world-transforming event.
Beginning to wonder if we'll wait in vain
Expressing doubt about the possibility of waiting in vain for the anticipated day.
For one fine day
Reaffirming the longing for that specific, transformative day.
Life is strange
Commenting on the unpredictable nature of life.
It can seem you're high and dry
Noting the feeling of being left stranded or abandoned.
Turn around
Discovering a lack of familiarity with the world and its current state.
You find there's nothing in this world you recognise
Realizing that nothing in the world aligns with one's recognition.
Did we fall asleep babe?
Pondering if the collective consciousness has metaphorically fallen asleep.
Dreaming that dream babe?
Questioning whether the envisioned positive changes were just a dream.
Listening to the pouring rain
Returning to the sound of rain and its reflective, contemplative nature.
Did we fall asleep babe?
Reiterating the question about a collective slumber and its influence.
Dreaming that dream babe?
Revisiting the idea of dreaming and its connection to the anticipated positive changes.
One fine day
Finalizing the longing for the awaited day of positive transformation.
