Lyrics for Song: Someday Soon
Lyrics for Album: Big Horizon [1994]
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
