someday coming

Someday Coming - The Innocence Mission
My someday coming child

I name and I re-name you

I make up memories for you of melodies

And friends from books I want to give you

And horse and buggy sounds outside

But of the someday coming world

I don't know, I don't know

There is so much I would keep you from

lf I, if I could

The heroes, selfish fools they only want their freedom

The hero makers' greed prevails

And we are all shock numb

And watch the shock increasing

And shame is something old, outgrown

And of the someday coming, world

I don't know, I don't know

There is so much I would keep you from

lf I, if I could

Oh, maybe you won't see

My too self-conscious tumblings

My running from the phone, my fears

Because I can be very strong

Say I can, say I can

There is so much to believe in

There are angel words to teach you

There is hope, my daydream child
