"Someday" lyrics

I was just a boy and I traveled on
I knew not where I'd lie
Oh, my ma was gone, my pa'd moved on
But I'd seen that blinding light

And that fire burned so deep and wide
My heart was clear and bright
And I said, "Someway, Lord please, someday
Let me kneel before your sight"

Now the light that shines
Through the smoking pines
Tells tales of days gone by
Of my wife who left
Of the tears I've wept
How I drink more than I'd like

And that fire burned all through the night
The flames took up the sky
And I said, "Someway, Lord please, someday
Let me kneel before your sight"

Well, the years have come and the years have gone
And I've seen this all before
And if there's nothing new underneath the sun
What has been shall be once more

And that fire burns
But it's not as bright
It gets harder to recognize
But I'll learn someway
Lord please, someday
Not to seek, instead to find
Oh, I'll learn someway
Lord please, someday
Not to seek, instead to find
Oh, I'll learn someway
Lord please, someday
Not to seek, instead to find
