Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
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 come
It’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 someday
Someday 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
