One Day -

"One Day" - an original song written in February of 2012, for #FAWM (February Album Writing Month). I'm doing this even later at night than usual, after coming home from another open mic. I'm super tired and I totally did not even try to look at the camera when I was singing this. I was too afraid that I was going to screw up the chords or the words. I am not great at playing B minor but it's an improvement upon how it sounded a few days ago (when I was trying to practice another song).
I'm playing my Enya Nova U Mini.
General project notes:
I'm sharing 100 #ukulele #practice sessions as 100 posts in 100 days, for the #100DaysUke2024 #challenge. I'm a new player (starting 11 February 2024), but I also play guitar, so skill transfer is a thing. 😜 Also, it's practice, not perfect at all. 🤣 The point is, here's proof I've been practicing!

Lyrics:
One Day
There's no beauty in the way I've been living
So intent upon survival that I forget to thrive
I'm alive for more than forty hours of chores
Every week and a check once a month
There's no love for me apart from my music
Would you live without your limbs if you were given a choice
I've a voice to raise in any manner of praise
Or sorrow, whatever I need to say
One day you'll know who I am
And you'll remember who you are again
One day you'll sing my songs
And you will fly
One day I'll breathe your name
With every melody I play
One day, one day, one day
Years and years I have been stuck in this pothole
If life is a road then I think you get my drift
There's a rift between what's left unsaid and unseen
In my dreams there's a place where I'm free to say
Cho: (2x)
One day I'll breathe your name
With every melody I play
One day, one day, one day
