One day at a time
 
 That's how I live my life today
 
 One glimpse at the sun
 
 And I was blinded by the light
 
 What a price I was to pay
 
  
  Each morning I rise
 
 And I pray to God above
 
 That one day I will return
 
 To the world I left behind
 
 To the people that I love
  
 
 It's been ten years, maybe more
 
 Since I've been locked behind this door
 
 And by rights I should be free
  
 
 You can take a man, break his will
 
 Make him bad, give him time to kill
 
 But you can't do that to me
 
 I'm an innocent man
  
 
 And I refuse to lie down
 
 I refuse ta lie down
  
 
 They put me in a place
 
 Where the sun refused to shine
 
 They took away my soul
 
 But my memories remained
 
 Of that once-upon-a-time
  
 
 One day at a time
 
 That's how I live my life today
 
 Still searching to find
 
 A single word ihat fits the lock
 
 To turn the key to set me free
  
 
 And I refuse to lie down
 
 I refuse to lie down
