Someday Lyrics

ESMERALDA
I used to believe
In the days I was naive
That I'd live to see
A day of justice dawn
And though I will die
Long before that morning comes
I'll die while believing still
It will come when I am gone

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

ESMERALDA / PHOEBUS
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
Greed will not pay
Godspeed
This bright millennium
On its way
Let it come someday

CHORUS
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

ESMERALDA
There are some days
Black and bitter
It seems we haven't got a prayer

PHOEBUS
But a prayer for something better

PHOEBUS / ESMERALDA
Is the one thing we all share

CHORUS
We all share
We all share

ALL
We all share...
Someday
Our fight will be one then
We'll stand in the sun then
That bright afternoon
Till then
On days when the sun is gone
Hope lives on
Wish upon the moon
Change will come

PHOEBUS
One day...

CHORUS
Someday...

ESMERALDA
Soon
