One day you'll understand
You roll your eyes and shake your head
believing you know more instead.
One day you'll understand
Words said to you in your youth.
One day you'll understand
How accurate this sentence.
How it was filled with truth.
One day you'll understand
You hear the echoes of that phrase
As you work more than 9-5 each day.
One day you'll understand
Reflection in the mirror reminds you
of where you originally heard this statement.
One day you'll understand
Songs on the radio remind you
of how not to be so complacent.
One day you'll understand
A sentence, said casually
predicting everyone's destiny.
One day you'll understand.
You hear it as it rolls off your tongue
Into the ears of someone young.
