Woke up this morning
I cried in my dreams
Couldn't find my way out of this broken machine
Drove down my car to a place I once knew
There was nothing left there but eyeshadow in the gloom
Found myself wondering
Lost and confused
Not waiting for a miracle don't mind if I lose
Sat by my balcony looked at the stars
They used to shine for me lord where are they now

One of these days I'm gonna fly like an eagle
One of these nights I'm gonna shine like the stars
One of these days I'm gonna roar like a lion
One of these days I'm gonna rise like the sun

Went to the doctor he said there's nothing wrong
You're not sick it's just a ache in your soul
Packed up my suitcase I took my guitar
I crossed the ocean had to travel so far

One of these days I'm gonna fly like an eagle
One of these nights I'm gonna shine like the stars
One of these days I'm gonna roar like a lion
One of these days I'm gonna rise like the sun

As you run from town to town
Can't find no peace of mind your
Heart of stone will always pull you down
On the run from dusk to dawn
Fake dreams and raging drums a million shattered tears become as one
Become as one

One of these days I'm gonna fly like an eagle
One of these nights I'm gonna shine like the stars
One of these days I'm gonna roar like a lion
One of these days I'm gonna rise like the sun
Rise like the sun
Gonna rise like the sun
Rise like the sun
Gonna rise like the sun
