[Intro: Kirk Franklin]
For everyone that's been waiting
For that promise that feels far away
Don't forget when God whispers He's got you
And you're one step closer to your someday
[Chorus]
Someday I'll get better
Someday I'll be free
I won't stop believing
Someday's just for me
Someday You will answer
And everyone will see
I hold on to Your promise
Someday is just for me
[Verse]
Someday I will receive
The answer to my prayer
In silence You were working
My way You have prepared
I'll be honest with You
It was so hard to trust
Fear took my faith away
(Kirk: "But here's the good news!")
But joy comes in the morning
Today is my someday
[Chorus]
(Kirk: "Sing!")
Oh, someday I'll get better
Someday I'll be free
I won't stop believing
Till someday's just for me
Someday You will answer
And everyone will see
And until then, I hold on to Your promise
That someday is just for me
[Refrain]
(Kirk: "Let me testify!")
Someday took forever
Felt like a million years
You told me to be patient
That my someday is near
Oh, and when I look back
Forever I am grateful
I didn't walk away
Not yet was preparation
To handle my someday
[Chorus]
Oh, someday I'll get better
Someday I'll be free
I won't stop believing
Someday's just for me
Someday You will answer
And everyone will see
I hold on to Your promise
Someday is just for me
[Bridge / Vamp]
So sing, "This is the day
The day the Lord has made"
My soul will celebrate
Today is my someday!
So sing, "This is the day
The day the Lord has made"
My soul will celebrate
Today is my someday!
So sing, "This is the day
The day the Lord has made"
My soul will celebrate
Today is my someday!
So sing, "This is the day
The day the Lord has made"
My soul will celebrate
Today is my someday!
[Interlude / Chorus]
Someday I'll get better
Someday I'll be free
I won't stop believing
Someday's just for me
Someday You will answer
And everyone will see
I hold on to Your promise
Someday
Someday is just for me
[Call & Response Vamp]
Thank God, I finally made it
Today is my someday
Didn't know if I could take it
Today is my someday
It was hard sometimes to say it
But You always make a way
Now I'm here and it's amazing
Today is my someday!
Thank God, I finally made it
Today is my someday
Didn't know if I could take it
Today is my someday
It was hard sometimes to say it
But You always make a way
Now I'm here and it's amazing
Today is my someday!
Thank God, I finally made it
Today is my someday
Didn't know if I could take it
Today is my someday
It was hard sometimes to say it
But You always make a way
Now I'm here and it's amazing
Today is my someday!
[Outro]
Today is my someday!
Today is my someday!
Today is my someday!
Today is my someday!

Song Meaning
Kirk Franklin builds this song around a single word held out like a lifeline: someday. The opening speaks directly to anyone still waiting on a promise that feels far off, urging them to remember that God's whisper means they are one step closer. The chorus turns that waiting into a declaration — better, free, answered — repeated until it sounds less like a wish and more like a decision to keep believing. The verse is where the honesty lives: the singer admits it was hard to trust, that fear chipped away at faith, before landing on the turn that reframes everything, joy arriving in the morning and the long-awaited someday suddenly becoming today. A testimony section looks back on a wait that felt like a million years and recasts the delay as preparation, gratitude rising for not having walked away. The bridge and call-and-response vamp borrow the language of the psalmist — this is the day the Lord has made — and push the song into celebration, with lines about finally making it and God always making a way. What begins as endurance ends as a party, the future promise collapsing into the present moment.
