One For The Ages - Sparks

As I slip and slide

Banging against the walls

Barely qualified

Drifting barren halls

Bosses oft deride

I accept their charm

Someday this will change

Experts, they will swarm

'Cause it’s one, it’s one

It’s one for the ages

It’s one, it’s one

It’s one for the ages

As I write my tomb

Every single night

My eyes show the strain

Every single night

But I’m pressing on

Every word a pearl

And I’m pressing on

It will change the world

'Cause it’s one, it’s one

It’s one for the ages

It’s one, it’s one

It’s one for the ages

It’s one, it’s one

It’s one for the ages

It’s one, it’s one

It’s one for the ages

When that day arrives

They’ll say, «Isn't he

That real quiet guy

From accountancy

I knew all along

He’d be something great

I had pegged that guy

For a special fate"

'Cause he’s one, he’s one

He’s one for the ages

He’s one, he’s one

He’s one for the ages

He’s one, he’s one

He’s one for the ages

He’s one, he’s one

He’s one for the ages

When the statues come

Hope they look like me

When the prizes come

I will look to be

Humble in my speech

Basking in applause

Soon the backlash comes

I don’t care, because

It’s one, it’s one

It’s one for the ages

It’s one, it’s one

It’s one for the ages

It’s one, it’s one

It’s one for the ages

It’s one, it’s one

It’s one for the ages

It’s one
