One of These Days (JLP Version)

[Verse 1]
Another failure, another flop
I should try another hobby, this has gotta stop
I feel like a tightrope walker without the wire
One more disaster, one more dud
It could be worse, at least this time no flood
Though it's the fourteenth time that I've almost caught on fire

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it's luck, what is luck, how could this be luck
No one's luck could be this bad
Maybe it's fate, maybe it's time

[Chorus]
One of these days
I'll find a way, I'll make it to the top
Leave 'em all back in the dust
One of these days
Someone will say, "that boy will never stop"
That day's gonna be
One of these days

[Verse 2]
Don't understand it, it isn't fair
Every time I try to prove myself results just aren't there
I feel like a mountain climber without the peak
My sister laughs at me, says I'm odd
My Mom and Pop think I'm a punishment from God
I get looks from my neighbors that seem to say
"Oh, there goes that freak"

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I wish, no I don't, yes I do, I wish
That somehow I had been born dumb
Then I feel that something may change

[Chorus]
One of these days
I'll find a way, I'll rise above the throng
They'll be amazed at who they see
One of these days
Someone will say, "I knew it all along"
One of these days
That's what will be

[Pre-Chorus]
God can it happen today?
Maybe there's been a mistake
Let's trade the failure for one minor miracle
One I can't possibly break

[Chrous]
Da da da da da da da dum
One of these days
I'll find a way, I'm gonna be number one
At least in some one person's eyes
One of these days
Someone will say, "You are my only one"
That day's gonna be
One of these days
One of these days

[Outro]
One of these days
I'm gonna fly, I'm gonna touch the sky
I'm gonna win, I'm gonna sin, I'm gonna never die
Gonna go, gonna flow, gonna click, gonna stick
Gonna gain, reach, conquer, gonna make 'em sick
Gonna triumph, prevail, sail, razzle, dazzle, glitter, gleam
You'll see my face in every house on every screen
I'll be the hero, I'll change the world
And maybe in the end I'll even get the girl
Gotta believe it
I can see through the haze
A miracle's in for a landing
Gonna get here, gonna happen
One of these days
