One Day
Well there’s a girl out there
 Who sits at her desk
 She's all alone
 
 And she looks out at the empty street
 There’s nothing to do
 No where to run
 In this small town
 Population might as well be none
 
 And she says
 “I’ll get out of here, one day
 I’ll find myself, one day
 And everyone in the whole wide world
 Will know my name
 One day
 
 And I’ll work hard
 Do anything I have to do
 I’ll give my blood sweat and tears
 To make all my dreams come true”
 
 The next day
 All the other kids laugh at her dreams
 Tell her she can’t be
 What she wants to be
 Not in this small town
 
 And she says
 “I’ll get out of here, one day
 I’ll find myself, one day
 And everyone one in the whole wide world
 Will know my name
 One day
 
 And I’ll work hard
 Do anything I have to do
 I’ll give my blood sweat and tears
 To make all my dreams come true”
 
 Years roll by
 And she’s standing on a stage
 There’s a crowd just down below
 Chanting her name
 Screaming for just one more song
 
 And tears fill her eyes
 As she says
 “I told myself I’d get out of there, one day
 I’d find myself, one day
 And everyone in the whole wide world
 Would know my name
 One day
 
 And I worked hard
 Did anything I had to do
 I gave my blood sweat and tears
 To make all my dreams come true
 
 But now I know
 I wouldn't be anything without
 All of you!”
 
 Meanwhile
 In that same small town
 A girl is watching the show
 The singer cries
 And rubs her eyes
 As she thanks them all but as to go
 
 And that girl said
 “If she can do it
 I can do it!
 
 I’ll get out of here one day
 I’ll find myself one day
 And everyone in this whole wide world
 Will know my name
 One day
 
 And I’ll work hard
 Just like she did
 Do anything I have to do
 I’ll give my blood sweat and tears
 To make all my dreams come true
 
 I’m gonna make my dreams come true.”
