Someday Never Comes
Someday's Lesson: Unraveling Life's Mysteries Through a Father's Wisdom
Lyrics
First thing I remember was asking papa, why
Asking father about unknown things.
For there were many things I didn't know
Uncertainty and lack of knowledge.
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand
Father's comforting guidance.
Saying, someday you'll understand
Assurance that understanding will come in the future.
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
Addressing everyone, emphasizing quick learning.
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young
Urgency in learning life lessons early.
'Cause someday never comes
Expression that the promised understanding may never come.
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust
Passage of time and accumulation of experiences.
For there were many things I didn't know
Continued lack of knowledge.
When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man
Father's departure and advice to mature.
And someday you'll understand
Reiteration of eventual understanding.
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
Repeating the urgency of learning life lessons.
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young
Stressing the importance of learning early.
'Cause someday never comes
Repeating doubt about the arrival of understanding.
And then one day in April, I wasn't even there
Absence during a significant event.
For there were many things I didn't know
Continued lack of knowledge.
A son was born to me Mama held his hand
Becoming a father and conveying the same message.
Sayin' someday you'll understand
Reiterating the promise of future understanding.
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
Reemphasizing the urgency of learning life lessons.
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young
Warning about the uncertainty of understanding.
'Cause someday never comes
Doubt that the promised understanding will ever come.
Ooo someday never comes
Repetition of skepticism toward future understanding.
Think it was September, the year I went away,
Departure in September, indicating a significant event.
For there were many things I didn't know
Continued lack of knowledge.
And still I see him standing, tryin' to be a man
Observing someone attempting to mature.
I said, someday you'll understand
Reassurance that understanding will come eventually.
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
Reiteration of the urgency of learning.
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young
Stressing the importance of early learning.
'Cause someday never comes
Expressing doubt about the arrival of understanding.
Ooo someday never comes
Final repetition of skepticism toward future understanding.
