One Day

(Album: The Inkwell - 2010)

One last gaze upon the sun
Bid farewell to everyone
Kicked that bucket out the door
Where I'm going I won't need it anymore

Gonna lay my burden down
Take a bird's eye look around
From the tall pines of Carolina
All the way to the Wall of China

So I go sailing 'round the room
Through my window, cross the silver moon
No flesh and bone to hold me
I'll finally set my soul free
When I go sailing 'round the room

Life may be just but a dream
Rode my boat on down the stream
To wake up on a different shore
Wind up as something I ain't never been before

I could be a drop of summer rain
Falling down on an Oklahoma plain
Gonna leave the world behind me
Look around and you will find me

So I go sailing 'round the room
Through my window, cross the silver moon
No flesh and bone to hold me
I'll finally set my soul free
When I go sailing 'round the room

(I will be)
In the smoke from Mauna Loa
Morning mist on the Shenandoah

(I will be)
Grain of sand in the Kalahari
Magnolia by the Mississippi

(I will be)
Bird song when the day is breaking
Words of love when your heart is aching

Blue bonnet by the highway
I'll be everywhere and always

When I go sailing 'round the room
Through my window, cross the silver moon
No flesh and bone to hold me
I'll finally set my soul free

When I go sailing 'round the room
Through my window, cross the silver moon
No flesh and bone to hold me
I'll finally set my soul free
When I go sailing 'round the room
