One of These Days

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 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 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 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" Sometimes I wish, no I don't, yes I do, I wish I wish that that I had been born dumb But then I feel that something may change 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 God, can it happen today? Maybe there's been a mistake Let's trade a failure for one minor miracle One I can't possibly break Ba ba ba ba ba ba bum 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 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 blow, gonna click, gonna stick Gonna gain, reach, conquer, gonna make 'em sick Gonna triumph, prevail, sail, razzle, dazzle, glitter, gleam Gonna 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
