Someday Soon Lyrics - David Wilcox

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"
