Just One Day
I wonder if there's ever been
A day without a death
A day when no one dug a grave
Or took their final breath
When no one had to say goodbye
To a loved one who had passed
Just one day when no one died
A day that wasn't their last
A day when all the whole wide world
Has said no sad farewell
No one leaving this world behind
For Heaven or for Hell
No wars to take a child away
With a mother left in tears
No murders, wrecks or suicides
No cancer dying fears
Just one day is all I ask
A day when no one dies
A day when no one feels the pain
That comes with those goodbyes
