Letras: David Wilcox. Someday Soon.

So we raced each other downhill 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 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"

Now, you have done all the adventures, I have dreamed of
And I have run a different path but just as fine
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 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"

Now if Heaven is perfection
I'll get my deepest questions answered
Like a child tears into wrappings
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

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"
