So we raced each other downhill on the sidewalk
|
And we raised each other, two against the world
|
And we promised not to bow, we made a solemn vow
|
To keep our Independence flags unfurled
|
|
So when the battles of the spirit left us stranded
|
Each went hiding in our separate ways
|
Ah, but carrying a candle to keep the fire burning
|
To find us here in brighter days
|
|
Chorus:
|
Someday Soon made a promise I will follow
|
Someday Soon is why I try
|
Someday Soon told me: "Take this cup of
|
Empty hope up to the well that's dry
|
Where there's just enough of Someday Soon to satisfy"
|
|
You have done all the adventures I have dreamed of
|
And I have run a different path but just as fine
|
Ah, but both of us have missed, we haven't closed
|
The distance on the destination peace of mind
|
|
For it seems as if it's always half together
|
There is no happy-ever-after magic wand
|
The lightning pulls the thunder, the distance
|
Pulls the wonder that calls us farther on
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Now if heaven is perfection
|
I'll get my deepest questions answered
|
Like a child tears into presents
|
To a Christmas tune
|
|
But in that big hall, let there be a
|
Bright red ribbon that stays
|
Wrapped around the mystery
|
Of Someday Soon
|
