Stephen Schwarz, Alan Menken
Someday
When we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
And greed will not pay
God speed
This bright millennium
On its way
Let it come
Someday
Someday
Our fight will be won then
We'll stand in the sun then
That bright afternoon
Till then
On the days when the sun is gone
We'll hang on
And wish upon the moon
There are some days dark and bitter
Seems we haven't got a prayer
But a prayer for someday better
Is the one thing we all share
Someday
When we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
And greed will not pay
God speed
This bright millennium
Let it come
Wish upon the moon
One day
Someday
SoonI was sitting with the band
A drink in each hand
There wasn't much to say
He asked me for my name
Said he was glad he came
He wished that he could stay
I said the only thing I've got more of is time
This isn't what you think, and it's not what I thought it would be
You've got a lonely face, do you want my place
Where there are all the answers
Do you wanna join the race, can you keep the pace
Or stay and take your chances
I was sleeping on my couch
I was really out
I didn't hear you leave
They asked me for some words
To clear up all their hurts
They wished that they weren't them
The world is at your feet
Try and make something happen
