Someday

When we are wiser

When the world’s older

When we have learned

I pray

Someday we may yet live

To live and let live

Someday

Life will be fairer

Need will be rarer

And greed will not pay

Godspeed

This bright millennia

On its way

Let it come

Someday

Someday

Our fight will be won then

We’ll stand in the sun then

That bright afternoon

Till then

On days when the sun is gone

We’ll hang on

If we wish upon the moon

There are some days dark and bitter

Seems we haven’t got a prayer

But a prayer for something better

Is the one thing we all share

Someday

When we are wiser

When the whole world is older

When we have learned

And I pray

Someday we may yet live

To live and let live

One day, someday

Someday

Life will be fairer

Need will be rarer

And greed will not pay

Godspeed

This bright millennia

Let it come

If we wish upon the moon

One day, someday

Soon

Someday, soon
