One Day

Just when your foot's found its ground,
The deck falls away, your mind's spinning 'round;
You wonder what could have gone wrong—
While you sing the song, you sing the song,
There's no sound,
No sound.

The hands that you held are lost.
You'll wing back their touch, whatever the cost.
But the squall that now rages is strong.
Though you sing the song, you sing the song,
The ship's tossed,
Hard-tossed.

You find that break with the world's so far.
The dream will live on—it's easy to say!
But watch for the fall of you Nothern Star:
It's bound to come; it's bound to come one day.
One day...

Hanging your arms at your side,
The depths are too deep, the ocean's too wide;
The journey you've started's too long:
What good's the song? What good's the song
That you've cried?
You've tried.

You find that break with the world's too far.
The dream can't live on—too easy to say!
Still, watch for the fall of yon Nothern Star:
It's bound to come; it's bound to come one day.
One day...

Lift up that head and look high!
Keep your eyes weathered on yon Northern Sky:
I'll never be part of the throng—
I'm singing the song, still singing our song,
And we'll fly
We'll fly!

As pirates we've been through the world so far,
And legends we'll be—forever, they say:
Up till the fall of yon Nothern Star.
That night will not come, it will not come one day...

And though that break with the world's so far,
I'll be waiting for you, whatever the way.
E'en after the fall of yon Northern Star
I'll hold to you, One—that's bound to come, one day.
One day...

You'll hold to me too—just me, Love, and you and one day...

AN: On the AWE soundtrack there' s a song titled, 'One Day.' A lot of people took it as a maybe-ominous foreshadowing in the W/E story. I didn't. I saw a lot of different things, but not that. This is one of the things I saw, I suppose. It isn't really ship-based, but you could apply it to Jack/Freedom; Jack/Pearl; Will/Elizabeth... whatever. It's supposed to be broad.

Still working on that other stuff! ;)
