    This is actually sort of a gospel R&B kind of tune, kind of a tribute to the time I spent as an artist on Atlantic Records (thank you Ahmet,) watching artists like Aretha record, and to my love of Van Morrison's music. Scott Page performs an absolutely astounding saxophone solo which is not to be missed. And the church girls headed up by Lauren Wood did an incredible job. Everyone paints such a bleak view of the future... I wondered what it might be like if we finally stopped squabbling, and learned to live together. Some dreams just won't die. Get onboard and rock on.

    Story Behind the Song
    One Day

    One day we'll look back
    'cross the gulf of all these tears
    And we will remember the good times
    Let memory burnish the years

    And maybe we'll laugh
    At the storms that we passed on the way to this shore
    And we won't believe that
    Children went hungry and countries made war

    Yes I believe it
    I can feel it so deep in my bones
    We will walk free
    And hatred and greed will be buried in the long-ago

    And maybe we'll laugh
    At the storms that we passed on the way to this shore
    And we won't believe that
    Children went hungry and countries made war

    For what will these things all be worth when the sun burns down
    For the dust of my life here on earth to mean even a tiny amount
    The love must remain when Heaven reclaims all the stars and the souls
    Goin' home...

    OUTRAGEOUS SAX SOLO

    Yes one day we'll look back
    Across the gulf of all these tears
    And we will remember the good times
    Let memory burnish the years

    And maybe we'll laugh
    At the storms that we passed on the way to this shore
    And we won't believe that
    Children went hungry and countries made war

    And maybe we'll laugh
    At the storms that we passed on the way to this shore
    And we won't believe that
    Children went hungry and countries made war

    Lyrics
    So many R&B songs are about well... the Blues. After all it's Rhythm and Blues. So that's understandable. But I wanted to do something a bit strange and also mix in a little gospel feel. Instead of a gloomy look at a Blade Runner-style future which so many of us take for granted is only going to get worse, this song takes a look at a future where the idea of wars, famine, and disease are so far behind us in the past that we can scarcely believe they ever once existed. In fact they have become the stuff of myth and legend at which we laugh unbelievingly. Maybe One Day.
