Failure's my friend but I keep on tryin'
It's bittersweet there's no denyin'
So I walk these old roads anyway
The banner tattoed on my arm says
Someday

And that's the word that I believe in
So I keep on tryin'
That's the time I get to where I'm goin'
Anyway
That's the day marked on my calendar
Keeps me from cryin'
So let the time fly bye so it arrives
With no delay

It's the day that I'll get around to all those things
God, I've always meant to do but couldn't say
For once, I won't be late for my appointment
I've got it down for 12 o'clock (noon)
Someday

And that's the word that I believe in
So I keep on tryin'
That's the time I get to where I'm goin'
Anyway
That's the day marked on my calendar
Keeps me from cryin'
So let the time fly bye so it arrives
With no delay

An old man sits alone out in the twilight
Not much longer in this world will be his stay
He always wished that he could fall in love again
Before he closed his eyes he whispered
Someday

And that's the word that I believe in
So I keep on tryin'
That's the time I get to where I'm goin'
Anyway
That's the day marked on my calendar
Keeps me from cryin'
So let the time fly bye so it arrives
With no delay
