“Try to understand, you try to fix your broken hands/ But remember that there always has been good/ Like stars you don’t see in the day sky/ Wait till night… Life has kept me down/I’ve been growing on the ground/ Now I’m coming up and when time opens the earth/ You’ll see love has been moving all around us, making waves… Help is coming, help is coming/ One day late, one day late/ After you’ve given up and all is gone/ Help is coming one day late.” — One Day Late lyrics, Sam Phillips
