Someday
Michael W. Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sexual harassment - nuclear reactors
Natural disasters from here to L.A.
Drug importers
New World Order
Wars over borders
Murder on the subway

The social classes - high rise of taxes
Diplomats are passive with a promise again

Talk of recession - people in depression
Dow Jones, bank loans, the Japanese yen

[Chorus 1:]
I wait for Kingdom come
When love will be here to stay
It will change us everyone
Someday, someday

Violence in the movies
Drive-by shootings
Rioting and looting
With the boys in the hood

Cults and religions
Deadly premonitions
Fiery oppositions
Evil battling good

AIDS awareness
Temporary marriage
Pro-life, pro-choice
Roe v Wade

Ethics and the media
Tabloid T.V.
The Kennedy Conspiracy
The Trial of O.J.

[Chorus 2:]
I wait for Kingdom come
When love will be here to stay
It will change us everyone
Someday, someday
There peace will make a stand
and the anger will fall away
We'll see the lion with the lamb
Someday, someday, someday





[Chorus 2:]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Michael W. Smith's song, "Someday," express his longing for a better world. The world we live in is full of negative events, such as sexual harassment, natural disasters, drug imports, wars, murder, violence in the movies, cults, religions, and deadly premonitions. At the same time, there is ethical confusion in the media, and there is talk of recession with people going into depression worldwide. The singer believes that we are all waiting expectantly for a time when love will reign over all the negative occurrences that we currently face.


The lyrics of "Someday" reflect Michael W. Smith's belief that one day a better world will come, one which will change us all. The hope for the kingdom to come, where peace will make its stand and the anger will fall away, is expressed in the second chorus of the song. The singer looks forward to the day when love will be here to stay, and it will change everyone. The phrase "we'll see the lion with the lamb" is a biblical reference to the prophecy of Isaiah about the coming of the Messiah and the peaceful coexistence of previously conflicting forces.
