Someday Coming

My someday coming child
I name and I re-name you
I make up memories for you of melodies
And friends from books I want to give you
And horse and buggy sounds outside

But of the someday coming world
I don't know, I don't know
There is so much I would keep you from
lf I, if I could

The heroes, selfish fools they only want their freedom
The hero makers' greed prevails
And we are all shock numb
And watch the shock increasing
And shame is something old, outgrown

And of the someday coming, world
I don't know, I don't know
There is so much I would keep you from
lf I, if I could

Oh, maybe you won't see
My too self-conscious tumblings
My running from the phone, my fears

Because I can be very strong
Say I can, say I can
There is so much to believe in
There are angel words to teach you
There is hope, my daydream child
