ONE OF THESE DAYS
copyright © 1999 Verity

From my room, the world’s an endless stretching space
A challenge to be faced – upright and welcoming
From where I sit, I’m only just out of it,
Nibbling candy floss as I watch it spinning.

Flashing lights, big top shelter – Ferris music belting forth
Background in fast forward – I’m stuck on pause
I’ve got the tickets in my hands, but I’m not one for queuing
So here I stand and watch the rest of it moving...

One of these days I’m gonna jump on the ride
Use my ticket - just get on with it
One of these days, I’m gonna make up my mind
To be as happy as I decide... and TODAY is that day!

I’m gonna take my chances, be the one who dances naked in the rain.
I’m gonna take each moment, let life open - around the token in my hand

One of these days I’m gonna jump on the ride
Use my ticket - just get on with it
One of these days, I’m gonna make up my mind
To be as happy as I decide...and TODAY is that day!

This song is destined for 'From Africa With Love' - you can give it a home by becoming a Future Owner of the album today...
