One Day by Maria Shriver

One Day

So much of life is spent in anticipation of one day
One day I’ll get that job
One day I’ll take that trip
One day I’ll buy that home
One day she will call
One day he will come back
Then one day you’re sitting there looking at the sky and you realize
That one day is but a fantasy
One day is just a hope a thought
One day isn’t real
You stop looking up and just look straight ahead
Not to one day but to today
Today is all you have
All you have to say is what needs to be said
Do what needs to be done
One day is today
Don’t trade today for one day
Because one day may never come
