One of these days, I'm gonna break down and cry
For the world full of sorrow an sin
One of these days, I'm gonna break down and cry
But for now I'm gonna hold it in

Somebody's got to be strong
Be a harbor for the weak and the innocent
All the world around me says, "Hey, be a man"
But I ain't no machine, say, what do they mean?"
Tell me, what do they mean?

One of these days, I'm gonna break down and cry
For the world full of sorrow an sin
Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna break down and cry
But for now I'm gonna hold it in

Don't let my heart grow so cold
So hard against the plot of my enemy
That I can't feel the suffering
And I can't see the pain of the hearts that ache
For Jesus' sake

It means so little to put on this face
When really I've got nothing to prove
You know my heart from the inside out
I can't hide from You
These tears are way overdue
But not here, not now

No, not now
One of these days

Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna break down and cry
For the world full of sorrow an sin
Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna break down and cry
But for now I'm gonna hold it in

Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna break down and cry
But for now I'm gonna hold it in

Yeah, for now, I'm just gonna hold it in
Yeah, for now, I'm gonna hold it in
Yeah

One of these days
One of these days
