about

Much like the song, Longing, this song laments the struggles of daily life. There is hope that some day, one day, everything will work out OK. Even if it's just for one day.

Well, this day is one day!

I love the way this song starts with the vocal. One of my favorite performances of the music (by everyone!) on the album.

lyrics

One Day (2006)

What if one day the world would pay attention to me
What if one day I could feel like I am all I could be
No fear of being out or being in
I could just be me and that’d be it
One day...

What if one day all my life just fell into place
What if one day I didn’t have to fall on my face
And everything I tried to do I did
No more painful failures to admit
One day...

I could sit here waiting for the world that I can dream up
And wish for things that seem like they could help me keep my chin up
But I know, it’s just a fantasy
I know... I know...

(Instrumental Chorus)
(Repeat Pre-Chorus)

One day may never come to be reality
One day is just a far off fantasy
One day is an endless string of maybes
But one day... one day...
(repeat chorus)

But one day... this day...
One day... this day...
Is one day.
