Someday
Disney (Hunchback of Notre Dame) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someday
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
'Til then
On days when the sun is gone
We'll hang on
And we'll wish upon a star

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
And we'll wish upon a star

One day
Someday
Soon

One day




Someday
Soon

Lyrics:

Oh
La-la-la-la
Oh
Yeah
I know it might be crazy
But did you hear the story?
I think I heard it vaguely
A girl and a zombie
Oh, tell me more, boy
Sounds like a fantasy
Oh, what could go so wrong
With a girl and a zombie
You're from the perfect paradise
And I'm living on the darker side
Ooh, I've got a feeling
If you get to know me
Right from the start you caught my eye
And something inside me came to life
Ooh, I've got a feeling
If you get to know me
Someday
This could be, this could be ordinary
Someday
Could we be something extraordinary?
You and me side by side (yeah, yeah)
Out in the broad daylight
If they laugh, we'll say
We're gonna be someday
We're gonna be someday (Someday, someday)
We're gonna be someday
We're gonna be someday
Girl, you look delicious
Oh, I mean gorgeous
Well, now you're getting fearless
No, I'm just rooting for us
If different was a super power
We'd be so flawless
Yeah, we could make these two worlds ours
I'm rooting for us
Two lonely hearts meet in the dark
Imagine it now they start a spark
You got my attention
What happens next, then?
Movies and long walks in the park
Hanging out anywhere we want
I like the way you're thinking
I can almost see it
Someday
This could be, this could be ordinary
Someday
Could we be something extraordinary?
You and me side by side (Yeah, yeah)
Out in the broad daylight
If they laugh, we'll say
We're gonna be someday
Someday, someday
So let them talk if they wanna (If they wanna, if they wanna)
Let them talk if they're gonna
We're gonna do what we wanna
Let them talk, let them talk
If they wanna, they wanna
Someday (Someday)
This could be, this could be ordinary
Someday (Someday)
Could we be something extraordinary?
You and me side by side
Out in the broad daylight
If they laugh, we'll say
We're gonna be someday
Someday, someday
We're gonna be someday
Someday, someday
We're gonna be someday
Someday, someday
We're gonna be someday
Someday, someday
We're gonna be someday
