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
