One of These Days Songtext
von Carmichael

One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
I′m going home
One of these days
One of these days

Troubles will soon
Will soon be past
There will be peace
Real peace at last
One of these days
I'm going home
One of these days
One of these days


Oh when I looked about one morning
And through a misty sky
And there I gazed upon a battlefield
Mankind was passin′ by
Oh well I saw how people in despair
Held them in a trance
And as they called for me to join
I shouted, "Not a chance!"

One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
I'm going home
One of these days
One of these days

Troubles will soon
Will soon be past
There will be peace
Real peace at last
One of these days
I'm going home
One of these days
One of these days


Oh where I know the world is reeling
There′s trouble everywhere
An′ my heart goes out to everyone
Beset by fear and care
For Christ the Lord Himself had said
Those who will prepare
May sit with Me an' in Paradise
And in His glory share

One of these days (ah)
One of these days
One of these days
I′m going home
One of these days
One of these days

Troubles will soon (ah)
Will soon be past
There will be peace
Real peace at last
One of these days
I'm going home
One of these days
One of these days
