Matisyahu es un artista judío de reggae y rap (raggamuffin), aunque en su música mezcla influencias de los géneros sincopados como el dub y utiliza incluso elementos de new metal. Muy afín con la cultura hip hop y reggae, utiliza en sus letras temáticas espirituales derivadas de su condición de judío jasídico. Su verdadero nombre es Matthew Paul Miller, y nació en West Chester, Pennsylvania en el año 1979. Matisyahu es el equivalente hebreo al nombre Mateo. Se le ha llegado a acusar de proselitismo.

CGAmF Sometimes I lay under the moon, I thank God I'm breathing
CGAmF Then I pray don't take me soon, 'cause I am here for reason
Pre-Chorus:
CGAmF Sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down
CGAmF So when negativity surrounds, I know someday it'll all turn around because
Chorus:
CG All my life I've been waiting for,
AmF I've been praying for, for the people to say
CG That we don't wanna fight no more,
AmF there'll be no more wars, and our children will play
CGAmF One day, one day, one day, oh oh oh
CGAmF One day, one day, one day, oh oh oh
CGAmF It's not about win or lose, 'cause we all lose when they feed on the
CG Souls of the innocent, blood-drenched pavement,
AmF keep on movin' though the waters stay ragin'
CGAmF In this maze you could lose your way, your way
CGAmF It might drive you crazy, but don't let it phase you no way, no way
Pre-Chorus:
CGAmF Sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down
CGAmF So when negativity surrounds, I know someday it'll all turn around because
Chorus:
CG All my life I've been waiting for,
AmF I've been praying for, for the people to say
CG That we don't wanna fight no more,
AmF there'll be no more wars, and our children will play
CGAmF One day, one day, one day, oh oh oh
CGAmF One day, one day, one day, oh oh oh
CG One day this all will change, treat people the same,
AmF stop with the violence, down with the hate
CG One day we'll all be free, and proud to be
AmF under the same sun singing songs of freedom like
Chorus:
CG All my life I've been waiting for,
AmF I've been praying for, for the people to say
CG That we don't wanna fight no more,
AmF there'll be no more wars, and our children will play
CGAmF One day, one day, one day, oh oh oh
CGAmF One day, one day, one day, oh oh oh
