C. Daniel Boling: Listen to Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I wrote the lyrics for this song a couple years ago but wasn't happy with the music I was using at the time. One day while driving (that's when a lot of my musical inspiration strikes) I realized that a pseudo-reggae treatment made it a whole new song, and one I liked a LOT better! Touring around the country in the past year or so this version has become a standard offering in my shows and folks always jump right in and help me sing it. I hope you will too.

 

Someday, someday

We will, we will understand

Someday, someday

We will understand

When we give as much respect to teachers as to movie stars

When we spend as much on homeless shelters as on prison bars

When we see our fellow man in need and give him some of ours

Someday, someday

We will, we will understand

Someday, someday

We will understand

When every child has food enough and somewhere safe to sleep

And a kind and loving family teaching values he can keep

When in a land of plenty noone’s living on the street

Someday, someday

We will, we will understand

Someday, someday

We will understand

When humanity’s diversity is a reason to rejoice

When the hopeless and forgotten finally have an equal voice

When basic human dignity’s a birthright not a choice
