SOMEDAY
Russell Alice Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know moonrise, I know starlight, and I lay my burden down
I walk in the starlight, I walk in the moonlight, and I lay my burden down
I know moonrise, I know star rise, and I lay my burden down
I walk in the starlight, I walk in the moonlight, and I lay my burden down

Stretch out my arms
As the evening fades away
Your soul and my soul

Will meet someday

I know sunrise, I've seen blue skies, and I lay my burden down
I walk in the sunrise, I walk under new skies, and I lay my burden down

I know sunrise, I've seen blue skies, and I lay my burden down
Moonrise, starlight, and I know my burden's found

The lyrics of "Someday" by Russell Alice convey a message of hope and release from burdens. The repetition of "I lay my burden down" and "and I know my burden's found" throughout the song creates a feeling of relief and a sense of letting go of weighty emotions. The mention of moonrise, starlight, blue skies, and sunrise reflect natural elements that often symbolize new beginnings and a fresh start. The verses mention walking in moonlight, starlight, and sunrise, signifying a journey towards a new day, and the metaphorical meeting of souls hints at a future reunion where all the struggles and pain of the present will no longer be present.

The chorus with the lyrics, "Stretch out my arms, as the evening fades away, your soul and my soul will meet someday," seems to communicate the belief that the struggles and hardships of life on earth will eventually fade away, and we will all unite and find solace together - a comforting thought. The tone of the song is gentle and comforting, with a touch of melancholy that speaks to the universal human experience of longing for better days and the hope for eventual harmony.
