Someday
Boston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someday, when all the clouds are gone
Life could just roll along
If all the skies were clear
I would fly so far from here
But when there's nowhere else you can hide
You can not let them take your pride
Ooh, don't let their hate get inside, 'cause
I don't care what they could say
It's gone on for too long
It's just ain't fair when they act that way
Someday they'll see the right from wrong, ooh

This world, you wonder if no one's real
Survive on the love they steal
And life comes so easily
But it just seems so unfair to me
And then you get so outnumbered you fall
Well, maybe you just walked too tall, ooh
But really, I don't think so, and

I don't care what they could say
It's gone on for too long
It's just ain't fair when they act this way
They can't see the right from wrong, ooh

Someday if all the clouds could go away
Someday if life could go on day to day

Stand for your hope in tomorrow
I'll be by your side all the way, yeah
Yeah, I'll stand by your side today

I don't care what they could say
It's gone on for too long




It's so unfair when they act that way
They're gonna see the right from wrong

Overall Meaning

The Boston song Someday is an uplifting, hopeful anthem that encourages people to stand up for themselves, remain optimistic and believe that someday, things will get better. The lyrics speak of the struggles, pain, and hardship experienced in life, including the feeling of being outnumbered and the unfairness of the world we live in. However, the song acknowledges these challenges as temporary and that there is a brighter future ahead if we persevere.


The opening lines, "Someday, when all the clouds are gone, Life could just roll along," present a world where everything is going well, and there are no obstacles or challenges. However, the reality is that life is not all sunshine and rainbows, and the skies are not always clear. The line "Survive on the love they steal" highlights how people can sometimes take advantage of others, winning through harmful actions. However, despite this, the song encourages us to remain strong and not let their hate get inside us. As the chorus repeats, "I don't care what they could say, it's gone on for too long, It's just ain't fair when they act that way."


The song is a reminder that the world is not always fair, but we must continue to be optimistic and take a stand for what we believe in. The closing line, "They're gonna see the right from wrong," suggests that eventually, people will come around, and the world will see that the right things to do outweigh the wrong ones.
