Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things'll get brighter
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things'll get brighter
[Chorus]
Someday, yeah
We'll put it together and we'll get it undone
Someday when your head is much lighter
Someday, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Someday when the world is much brighter
[Verse 2]
Ooh child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh child
Things'll be brighter
Ooh child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh child
Things'll be brighter
[Chorus]
Someday, yeah
We'll put it together and we'll get it undone
Someday when your head is much lighter
Someday, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Someday when the world is much brighter
[Chorus]
(Someday) Someday, someday, someday
We'll put it together and we'll get it undone
(Someday) When your head is much lighter
(Someday) Someday, someday, someday
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
(Someday) When the world is much brighter
[Verse 3]
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things'll get brighter
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things'll be brighter
[Outro]
(Right now) Oh yeah
(Right now) Oh, baby
(Right now) If you just wait and see how things are gonna be
(Right now) If you just wait and see how things are gonna be
(Right now) If you just wait, wait and see
