One Day

1985

I may not be an angel of mercy

But Im not a beast of sin

So why are you trying to change me

And pull me out of the world Im in

I may dream of my reality

Quit trying to make me what I’ll never be

Don’t change your mind

Now that we are in the perfect place

To discover love so kind

Why are you laughing in my face

And if you’re perfect circle unwinds

Hope you can discover peace of mind

And I will win your heart

Maybe one day

Even if it means to take forever

Baby one day

And as the shattered mirror hangs from its frame

That’s how I feel when you scream my name

Tell me, why are you so lame

Why do you like to shatter my frame

And I will win your heart

Maybe one day

Even if it means to take forever

Baby one day

Im not just an illusion

Im always here to satisfy your needs

But you always twist my heart around

You like to watch me bleed

But you know I love you anyway

And you love me to even though you can’t say it

To win your love, it’s a change

But Im telling you, I’ll win this race

Believe it or not, this song is about my father. At this point in my life I was starting to discover reality from what was imagined. Not that my Dad was a bad person, he wasn't. But what I always imagined was not even close to reality. Dealing with that as a young adult caused a lot of hurtful feelings, and a lot of guilt about the way I treated my Mom over it. She actually didn't deserve my rebellion. There is a reason mother birds kick the little baby birds from the nest! Funny thing, back then I thought every song you wrote had to sound like a love song "or it wouldn't sell". Hey, I was 16 years old!
