Someday

1. He won the war, in a foreign land
That was no hero, that was my old man
And he came back home, where he met his wife
And he raised his kids, while he made a life.

Now he never preached, though he always knew
And we watched him close, just to pick up clues
And sometimes late, in the dead of night
I can see him there, in the pale moon light.

[Chorus:]
I am trying
And i don't know how
And i don't know when
But i'll have to tell him someday.

2. And as for this woman, my father wed
We knew we were loved, with the words unsaid
And when we were young she taught us all to read
And then one by one, she would watch us leave.

Never saw her cry, for she hid her tears
As one by one, we would disappear
But of course we'd write, and of course we'd call
Just to hear her voice, whenever we would fall.
