so we raced each other downhill on the sidewalk and we raised each other two against the world and we promised not to bow we made a solemn vow to keep our independence flags unfurled so when the battles of the spirit left us stranded each went hiding in our separate ways ah but carrying a candle to keep the fire burning to find us here in brighter days chorus someday soon made a promise i will follow someday soon is why i try someday soon told me take this cup of empty hope up to the well that s dry where there s just enough of someday soon to satisfy you have done all the adventures i have dreamed of and i have run a different path but just as fine ah but both of us have missed we haven t closed the distance on the destination peace of mind for it seems as if it s always half together there is no happy ever after magic wand the lightning pulls the thunder the distance pulls the wonder that calls us farther on chorus now if heaven is perfection i ll get my deepest questions answered like a child tears into presents to a christmas tune but in that big hall let there be a bright red ribbon that stays wrapped around the mystery of someday soon
