Notes

I had this musical idea for a month or two, then Matthew and I were scheduled to write so I showed it to him and he liked it. We were totally on the same page about how the song "felt" to us. We just had to work to make sure the lyrics somehow captured that "feeling."

Lyrics

Someday
Things will get better
For your sake
It will get better
'Cause there is time
Time to find
Find all the beauty
In truly being alive

Somehow
The world keeps on spinning
So come now
No second guessing
Love is here
Here is where
You find all the beauty
In truly seeing

You are all that you are
And you know now you can feel it
You all made it this far
Even though now you don't see it

Break

You are all that you are
And you know now you can feel it
You all made it this far
Even though now you don't see it

You are all that you are
And you know now you can feel it
You all made it this far
Even though now you don't see it

Someday
Things will get better
For your sake
