David Wilcox - Someday Soon

Lyrics

So we raced each other down hill on the sidewalk

And we raised each other, us 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

And each went hiding in our separate ways

But now carrying a candle to keep the fire burning

To find us here, in brighter days

Someday soon made a promise I will follow

Someday soon's why I try

Someday soon told me take this cup of empty hope up to the well that's dry

Where's there's just enough of someday soon

To satisfy

Now you have done all the adventures I had 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

And though 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

Someday soon made a promise I will follow

Someday soon's why I try

Someday soon told me take this cup of empty hope up to the well that's dry

Where's there's just enough of someday soon

To satisfy

Now if heaven is perfection, I'll get my deepest questions answered

Like a child tears into wrappings to a Christmas tune

But in the big hall, let there be a bright, red ribbon

That stays wrapped around the mystery

Of someday soon

Someday soon made a promise I will follow

Someday soon's why I try

Someday soon told me take this cup of empty hope up to the well that's dry

Where's there's just enough of someday soon

To satisfy
