Someday… someday… someday… someday…

     

That's what I used to say

About some future day

When I would realize my destiny

And so...

     

I set out for the top

Without a pause or stop

To get where I was meant to be

I'd show the world the best of me

    

Someday… someday…

   

I put my heart on hold

And let myself be sold

A fantasy like they show on TV…

Fame would be my reality

    

Someday… someday… someday…

    

I didn't bother to ask the price

I'd have to pay with my mortal soul

I swore I'd run right through fire and ice

And win the gold

   

Someday… someday… someday… someday…

    

I turned my back on love

What was I thinking of

I will regret it till my dying day

Oh no…

      

All that I could have had

Has gone and left me sad

I let it all just slip away

Waiting for what would never be

      

Someday… someday… someday…

    

I didn't bother to ask the price

I'd have to pay with my mortal soul

I swear I've run right through fire and ice

To win fool's gold

   

Someday… someday… someday… someday…
