SOMEDAY


This song was performed by a couple of high school seniors at a birthday party held for me years ago, and theirs is still my favorite version. The best comment on the song came from a friend who after listening to my recording of it gently reminded me that 'someday' is today.


SOMEDAY

Someday when we wake up and all our dreams come true
No one will be lonely and I won’t be missing you
Someday all our questions will be answered when we pray
The tears on all our faces shall be wiped away
Someday

Someday peace will break out in the world of men
Lambs lie down with lions and never fight again
Someday we will stop and think and we’ll wonder why
We ever lived in hatred and children had to die
Someday

Someday love will happen and we’ll all make amends
And even Cain and Abel will walk along as friends
Someday sons and fathers will take each other’s place
Words we said in anger will be resolved in grace
Someday

Someday hearts will open in every girl and boy
The trees will shake with laughter and the hills will shout for joy
Someday we will meet again the ones we can’t replace
And someday you’ll be with me and I will see your face
Someday
