One day at a time

One day, One day at a time. I'll be more. More than a boy, In a fort of sheets. More than a friend, Waiting, For someone to keep a seat. More than a love, Asking for some back. More than a soul, Begging for some slack. More than the wind, Looking for a way out. Stuck in a house of glass, I can see you walking there. You go on with your war, I'll work something out, From here. There's little to no remorse, Just a wayward path. With your back on the wall, You may be at the end. But never the last. I'll be a little better, Than the snow on the grass. Unafraid of the sun, I'll leave my mark. More than a soldier, I'll ever be. One day I'll be called forth, And then you'll see. A simple man I was, And a simple man I'll be. Just a bit older, Walking endlessly. One day I'll be more, For sure, More than a bard. Looking not for fancy covers, Just an ear or two, From afar. More than a son, Looking for some spare change. More than a lad, Looking for a fast lane. One day I'll be more. Just a bit more time. I'm working on it, Night and day. If not the past. The future will be mine. One day. One day at a time.
