One of These Days
Journey to Redemption: Van Morrison's Reflection on Self-Discovery
Lyrics
One of these days I've got to get things right
Expressing the need to correct and improve aspects of life
I'm gonna do my business in the daylight
Planning to conduct personal affairs openly and honestly
One of these days you know I've got to get things right
Reiteration of the desire to set things right
I'm gonna do my business out in the broad daylight
Commitment to handle personal matters in the open
One of these days I've got to get things straight
Acknowledging the need for personal clarity
I'm gonna stop acting like a reprobate
Deciding to stop behaving in a morally wrong or unprincipled way
One of these days you know I've got to get things straight
Reaffirmation of the commitment to straighten things out
I'm gonna stop staying out late
Intention to stop staying out late and acting irresponsibly
And acting like a reprobate
Emphasis on the need for behavioral change
One of these days I've got to get in step
Realizing the necessity to align oneself with a proper course of action
It won't be long 'fore I'll be needin' help
Acknowledging the imminent need for assistance
One of these days you know I've got to get in step
Reiteration of the realization of needing help
The way I'm going baby I'll be needin' help
Anticipating the need for support given the current trajectory
One of these days I've got to go back home
Expressing the desire to return to one's roots
Sit out on my front porch and compose a poem
Planning to engage in a reflective and creative activity
One of these days you know I've got to go back home
Reiteration of the intention to return home
I'm gonna sit out on my front porch, rock away compose a poem
Imagining a peaceful and creative time at home
