about

This song is a lesson for life. So often we promise ourselves that "Someday" will come that will provide all the answers and fulfill all our dreams. Meanwhile, our life passes us by, minute by minute. We should learn to live every single minute of our life, fully.

lyrics

Someday
by Gene Cartwright © 2014, 2022

I’m gonna live someday —some- day

I used to say someday I'll be happy,
Someday, fame and fortune will be mine.
Someday I'll get my life together.
I'll laugh again and have myself the best of times.

I’m gonna live someday —some- day

I used to say, someday when I’m able,
I’ll do the things that my heart longs to do.
I’ll show the world, I’ll be a big success,
My name will be in lights above all the rest.

I’m gonna live someday —some- day

Music interlude

I used to say, someday love will find me,
Then my heart will spread its wings and fly.
Then, one day suddenly, I realized,
While I was waiting like a fool, my life was passing by

Don't wait until it's time to die to live,
‘Cause life is just a moment, anyway
Don't wait until it's time to die to live.
Live a thousand years every day

Bridge

‘Cause someday is just a fantasy,
Empty dreams when all is said and done
Every day of your life is your reality
So, live everyone, live everyone

Now, every day I celebrate the sunrise,
I stop and smell the flowers where they grow.
With every breath I take, I am born again,
'Cause where this life will end, no one can ever know

So, don’t wait until it's time to die to live,
‘Cause life is just a moment, anyway
Don't wait until it's time to die, to live.
Live a thousand years every day.
