Over blankets and low light
Thoughts evade a tired night
You hunt them with your ceiling gaze
And fall asleep exhausted of the chase
A globe is spinning by your side
Time is a little dot you try
To reach until your fingers drop
You realise you'll never make it stop
Better leave it
Out of your sight
Out of your mind
Keep on living brother
One day at a time
One step at a time
Don't look back as there
Nothing you'll find
No reel to rewind
To trust yourself is what
Yourself you should remind
One day at a time
You walk and keep on yearning far
Endless boulevards they are
Mere roads of solitary thought
And architecture of the world you sought
Promise pours in empty bars
Torpid rust in petrol cars
Mirrors a broken inert state
It's far, but it's never too late
The motion
One day at a time
One step at a time
Keeps you walking as
The yearning does unwind
And fades out of your mind
Don't look back as there
Nothing you'll find
No reel to rewind
To trust yourself is what
Yourself you should remind
One day at a time
