lyrics
One of these days I'll sleep beside a fire under the stars.
One of these days a rock under my head won't seem so hard.
One of these days I'll finally see just how beautiful you are.
One of these days I'll learn to follow Him within my heart.
One of these days I'll learn to paint with my fingers.
One of these days I won't mind if I get paint on my fingers.
One of these days I'll sing to you and make another singer.
One of these days I'll sing to you a song that lingers.
One of these days I'll rise and fall with the sun.
One of these days I'll wake up with your name on my tongue.
One of these days I'll get back to where I started from.
One of these days I'll take her hand and see how it feels to run.
One of these days I'll seek the truth and nothing else.
One of these days I'll smell my shit and graciously accept your help.
One of these days I'll see how much you love me and melt.
One of these days I'll be with you and be myself.
Be my guide, God of Abraham,
lead me by your hand, you are strong and wise.
I want to trust in you, and in all I do,
bring you honour and praise.
Be my guide, in the dark of night,
set all fear to flight, you are hope and truth.
I want to trust in you, and in all I do,
bring you honour and praise.
Be my guide for the road ahead,
and should I feel mislead, you are just and good.
I want to trust in you, and in all I do,
bring you honour and praise.
One of these days, I'll trust in you and bring you honour and praise.
How I love you!
Oh my God, oh my love.
You are true.
I need you.
How he loves me!
Through the bear and the bees and the honey in the tree.
Oh, it's so sweet!
And I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking, until the day we meet.
