Hm-m-m-m-mmm
Someday I will find
My ticket outta here
Wake up one mornin’
And just start packin’
Yea-I’ll make up my mind
And I’ll lay down my fear
Stop waitin’ for the next bad thing to happen
I’m ready for the rainbow to begin
I just got through a storm of tears
I thought would never end
CHORUS
Someday was a dream that always seemed to turn out wrong
But now it’s not so far away
Puttin’ off tomorrow
Is 24 hours too long
I guess my someday came today
Maybe I’ll take a train
To a place I’ve never been
Or I could watch the sun fall into the ocean
I finally feel alive
Throw my heart into overdrive
Get up and get this life in motion
I’ll do everything I’m meant to do
Cause I’m past the pain and sorrow that kept it all from comin’ true
[Chorus x2]
