Open up my window, take a look out on the street
I just want to see if its safe to go out today
There’s a big old building with the dust still blowing
Where a family had a home just yesterday
Out of one ear I hear gunfire while out of the other children playing
They’re trying to pretend and they’re trying to forget
They didn’t see a woman killed just yesterday.
Inside my tears are falling
But I will keep my eyes dry
And if they care to ask me, all I can say
It’s just another day
Another day of fighting
Another day of trying to live through humiliation
It’s just another day of hoping that the world has not forgotten us
Or even worse they just no longer care
Another day of hoping that things will be different
Than what we’ve always known
With no more walls and no more screams No more bullets, no more guns.
Inside my tears are falling
But I will keep my eyes dry
And if they care to ask me, all I can say
It’s just another day
Now they’ve given us over like lambs for the slaughter
When we’re not theirs to give
And when they’ve taken everything they can possibly take away, they take a little more
I didn’t ask for this, I didn’t ask for this
I never wanted it
When you’ve got nothing left to lose, you’ve got nothing left
You’ll never give in
Inside my tears are falling
But I will keep my eyes dry
And if they care to ask me, all I can say
It’s just another day
I just want to see if its safe to go out today
There’s a big old building with the dust still blowing
Where a family had a home just yesterday
Out of one ear I hear gunfire while out of the other children playing
They’re trying to pretend and they’re trying to forget
They didn’t see a woman killed just yesterday.
Inside my tears are falling
But I will keep my eyes dry
And if they care to ask me, all I can say
It’s just another day
Another day of fighting
Another day of trying to live through humiliation
It’s just another day of hoping that the world has not forgotten us
Or even worse they just no longer care
Another day of hoping that things will be different
Than what we’ve always known
With no more walls and no more screams No more bullets, no more guns.
Inside my tears are falling
But I will keep my eyes dry
And if they care to ask me, all I can say

And if they care to ask me, all I can say
It’s just another day
