Someday

Someday, the birds won't sing They'll all scatter from the rising tide below And someday, the bells won't ring They'll just echo back the secrets that they know But not today and not tomorrow Not while the symphony is roaming through my blood And who's to say we shouldn't follow Towards some light up in the sky that no one sees? And not for gold, and not for envy Not for the thought that we could live forever more For the truth, for the moment To paint the world with all the colors of our souls Oh, someday, flags won't fly They'll all be buried in the ground where they belong Someday, well, the guns won't ring We'll all wonder where the world went wrong Someday They say that a man can't change Before he's turned to naught but pictures on a page And maybe when our time is through The silence in the dark comes calling you But not today and not tomorrow Not while the symphony is roaming through my blood And who's to say we shouldn't follow Towards some light up in the sky that no one sees? And not for gold, and not for envy Not for the thought that we could live forever more For the truth, for the moment To paint the world with all the colors of our souls Oh, someday, flags won't fly They'll all be buried in the ground where they belong Someday, well, the guns won't ring We'll all wonder where the world went wrong Someday Whoa, someday
