Lyrics
“Someday My Day Will Come”
Someday my day will come and I won’t need a thing at all
Yes I can stand proud and tall and say just what I feel
Someday my day will come when dreams become reality
I’ll be the one I want to be someday my day will comeIt’s a tiring path we travel through
For each step I take Lord I’m set back two
We all have roles in life to play
And I’ll play a great one somedaySomeday my day will come I’ll hold true love right in my hand
I’ll touch the pretty rainbow’s end and my cup will overflow
Someday my day will come I’ll watch my ship as it comes in
My castles won’t be made of sand someday my day will come
I’ll hold true love right in my hand someday my day will come
