Lyrics

Someday Man

[Verse 1]

Some people always complain

That their life is too short

So they hurry it along

Their worries drive them insane

But they still go along for the ride

As for me

I have all the time in the world

[Chorus]

I was born

A someday man

I'm a maybe child

I was born

A someday man

I was always wild

[Post-Chorus]

Tomorrow's a new day, baby

Anything can happen

Anything can happen at all

[Verse 2]

Some folks are working for reasons

And waiting for answers

They're never gonna find

They keep on searching for pleasures

And looking for what they can't see

But for me

Life can be a sweet holiday

[Chorus]

I was born

A someday man

I'm a maybe child

I was born

A someday man

I was always wild

[Post-Chorus]

Tomorrow's a new day, baby

Anything can happen

Anything can happen at all

[Chorus]

I was born

A someday man

I'm a maybe child

I was born

A someday man

I was always wild

[Chorus]

I was born

A someday man

I'm a maybe child

I was born

A someday man

I was always wild
