Someday

Everyone came in expecting the unexpected

Not knowing for sure just how things would turn out

So gullible we were

We fell into a trap

Thought this would be the end

So many people...

But not enough just like me

out there tryin' to achieve the same dream

It's been a road

A heavy one filled with ambition

Success is the only option

Benefiting is how we grow

Sometimes you get so caught up...caught up

Living on bread & butter

Mad frustratin' to see everyone livin' the good life

and you just can't get none of that bread

'cuz no one is around

Someday you will understand

Someday you will benefit and reap what I sow

Gonna' sow six deep, and make 'em all pay

The beauty of it all,

The wisdom of it all is intense

Someday you're going to wake up from this dream

Someday you're going to see your fantasies have become reality

Someday this world we are all livin' in will soon collide into one

Who will be the next to go?

Have a better way?

Or choose a better way?

No one knows a person's true intentions unless you act on impulse

Everyone out there fightin' a losin' battle

Gotta know we're all in this thing together

DEAD END JOB, livin' paycheck to paycheck

Same damn thing e'rr day of the week

Can't seem to catch a break, gotta know it's God on our side now

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
