One of These Days (Reprise)

In another ten years (You won't be talking still)

In another ten years (I'll be sitting in another spot)

More specific

In another ten years (I'm gonna be some guy no one knows)

(Some freak they all forgot)

Okay, I was thinking something more like

In another ten years, I'm gonna see the world

In another ten years, I'll make my biggest dreams look small

And when I come home, they'll all look at me

Like I'm the greatest star of all (I don't think so)

(That'll always be Diana Ross)

Mmm, I think you mean Donna Summer

(I don't, uh, not that I like Diana Ross)

(I just have this friend who's seriously committed to her)

(But he's weird)

Ten years ago, I used to hate that word

Ten years ago, in whispers up and down the halls

I knew what it meant but couldn't let it show

So I faded back into the walls

Ten years ago, I used to hide myself

My every move was trying just to fall in line

I changed how I walked and when I would talk

I used a voice that wasn't mine

And back in those days I used to dream

I'd wake up as somebody new

Back in those days I'd cry and scream

That every day would just be through, oh

Back in those days I'd pray and pray

To be another life away

Where one of these days would okay

Just like I heard Diana say

Oh, never mind

(It's okay, you can still say it)

Well, she said

"My darlings, always remember

No matter how difficult it may seem at the time

It's always easier to live the truth than live a lie

So be true, because I love you no matter what

But I love you happy most of all"

(But what's going to happen now?)

Tomorrow, the next day, the next one

A decade's just time and you'll see how it goes

It's gone in a minute and any minute now this all will be

One of those days, ooh (One of these days)

(Jack)

(It's nice to meet you)

You too
