SOMEDAY
Brian Ice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 days when the sun is gone
We'll hang on
If we wish upon the moon

There are some days dark and bitter
Seems we haven't got a prayer
But a prayer for something better
Is the one thing we all share

Someday
When we are wiser
When the whole world is older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live
One day, someday
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
Greed will not pay
God speed
This bright millennium
Let it come
If we wish upon the moon
One day
Someday
Soon

One day




Someday
Soon

Overall Meaning

The song "Someday" by Brian Ice is a message of hope for a better future, where people will have learned to live in peace and harmony, with fairness and justice prevailing. The lyrics speak of a time when the world will be wiser, older, and more learned, and when the human race will have won its fight against darkness and despair. The song is a reflection of the universal human desire for a better tomorrow, free from the troubles and difficulties of today.


The first verse of the song talks about the hope for a time when people will have learned to live and let live. This implies a world where conflicts and wars will be a thing of the past, where everyone will be able to coexist in love and respect for one another. The second verse talks about a world where life will be fairer, and where greed will no longer rule supreme. This paints a picture of a world where wealth, power, and social status will not be the determining factors for success or happiness. Finally, the bridge of the song reminds us that even in times of darkness and despair, hope is a shared human experience, and that we can all strive for something better.
