About (I Can't Make It) Another Day

"(I Can't Make It) Another Day" is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson featuring Lenny Kravitz, released on the posthumous album Michael which has sold 6.5 million globally. Initially leaked as a 90-second snippet, it was referred to as "Another Day". Shortly after the leak, singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz confirmed that he had produced and composed "Another Day"; he stated that although he did not leak the song, he would like to have the full version of the song—in which he also features—officially released. Kravitz later referred to the song as "(I Can't Make It) Another Day" on Facebook prior to the release of the Michael album. The song was recorded for the album Invincible, but dropped from the final track list. It was later re-written and re-titled "Storm", a collaboration between Kravitz and rapper Jay-Z which is featured on the former's 2004 album Baptism. Shortly after the leak, both Jackson's estate and record label, Sony Music Entertainment, revealed that they were in the process of removing "Another Day" from the Internet for copyright reasons. Despite successful attempts, the song has continued to be re-uploaded to the Internet and listened to thousands of times. "Another Day" is the second Jackson track to be posthumously leaked, as it follows "A Place with No Name", which was unofficially released on July 16, 2009.

My life has taken me beyond the planets and the stars
And you're the only one that could take me this far
I'll be forever searching for your love

(Huh-ooh)

I walked away but I was wrong
(I can't make it another day)
You're the one that keeps me strong
(I can't make it another day)
You're the fire that keeps me warm
(I can't make it another day)
How did I get through this storm
(I can't make it another day without your love)

(Hoo hoo)
(Come on now!)

At night, 
I pray before I sleep in hope of finding you
(finding you)
I've opened up my heart I want you to come through
I've close my eyes I'm searching for your love
(Huh-ooh)

I walked away but I was wrong
(I can't make it another day)
You're the one that keeps me strong
(I can't make it another day)
You're the fire that keeps me warm
(I can't make it another day)
How did I get through this storm
(I can't make it another day without your love)

I walked away but I was wrong
(I can't make it another day)
You're the one that keeps me strong
(I can't make it another day)
You're the fire that keeps me warm
(I can't make it another day)
How did I get through this storm
(I can't make it another day without your love)

(Come on now!) 

I walked away but I was wrong
(I can't make it another day)
You're the one that keeps me strong
(I can't make it another day)
You're the fire that keeps me warm
(I can't make it another day)
How did I get through this storm?
(I can't make it another day without your love)

I walked away but I was wrong
(I can't make it another day)
You're the one that keeps me strong
(I can't make it another day)
You're the fire that keeps me warm
(I can't make it another day)
Your the fire to my storm
(I can't make it another day without your love)
