Someday May Never Happen
(by Robert Ramage)
[Intro – slow clean guitar building into screaming lead]
What would you do…
If tomorrow never came?
Would you sit there waiting for the clock to run out…
Or finally become the person you were meant to be?
[Heavy guitars explode]
[Verse 1]
Another sunrise burnin’ through the haze,
Another soul just driftin’ away,
Everybody thinks there’s always tomorrow,
Till tomorrow never comes their way.
Got ghosts chained up inside my head,
Old scars underneath my skin,
Too many words I should’ve spoken,
Too many wars I should’ve ended.
[Chorus]
Someday may never happen,
Time ain’t promised to a soul,
One minute you’re standin’ in the fire,
Next minute darkness takes control.
So love like your heart’s wide open,
Say the words before they fade,
Cause someday may never happen,
And tomorrow’s never guaranteed.
[Verse 2]
Would you write the story deep inside you,
Or let the pages turn to dust?
Would you chase the dream you buried,
Or leave it strangled by your fear and rust?
Would you call the ones you wounded,
Try to make things right at last?
Would you stand and face your demons,
Instead of hiding in the past?
[Chorus]
Someday may never happen,
Time ain’t promised to a soul,
One minute you’re standin’ in the fire,
Next minute darkness takes control.
So hold the ones you love much closer,
Before they slip like rain away,
Cause someday may never happen,
And none of us can buy one day.
[Bridge – halftime heavy groove]
Tick…
Tick…
Tick…
Hear the thunder in the distance,
Hear the reaper whisper low,
Every second’s like a bullet,
And nobody knows when they’ll go.
So don’t wait for some tomorrow,
Don’t leave your soul in chains,
Cause life can disappear in one breath,
Like lightning in the rain.
[Guitar solo – emotional chaos]
[Final Chorus]
Someday may never happen,
That truth cuts deeper every day,
So scream your love into the heavens,
Before your voice just fades away.
One life…
One shot…
One heartbeat in the dark…
Someday may never happen,
So live before the lights go out.
[Outro – fading lead guitar]
“What would you do…
If tonight was your last chance?”
