One Day

One last gaze upon the sun

Bid farewell to everyone

Kicked that bucket out the door

Where I'm goin' 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

Fallin' 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
