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
But for the truth
For the moment
To paint the world with all the colours of our souls

Oh, someday
The 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
But for the truth
For the moment
To paint the world with all the colours of our souls

Oh, someday
The 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

Someday
