Todo es como lo vez
Nada es lo que es
Hoy lo que pierdes ganaras después
Hoy como ayer lo que era dejó de ser
Todo lo que muere en otra cosa ha de renacer
Todo el amor, que das
Puedes perder, puede crecer
Someday someday you

The choice you give will come back tu you
Someday someday you
The love you must will find you

Someday someday you
The like you shine, will shine pride on you
Todo el amor que das
Puedes perder
Puede crecer
Someday someday you
The choice you give will come back tu you
Someday someday you
The love you must will find you

Someday someday you
The like you shine, will shine pride on you
