Someday Was Today

Don’t let anyone say that it’s just a game
For I’ve seen other teams and it’s never the same
When you’re born in Chicago you are blessed and you’re healed
The first time you walk into Wrigley Field
Our heroes wear pinstripes and heroes in blue
Give us the chance to feel like heroes too
Whether we’ll win and if we should lose,
We know someday we’ll go all the way,
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way!

We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we’re in love
Hold our head high as the the underdogs
We are not fair-weather, but foul-weather fans
Like brothers in arms, in the streets and the stands
There’s magic in the ivy and the old scoreboard
The same one I stared at as a kid keeping score
In a world full of greed I could never want more
Someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
Someday we’ll go all the way

Here’s to the men and the legends we’ve known
Teaching us faith and giving us hope
United we stand and united we’ll fall
Down to our knees the day we win it all
Yeah Ernie Banks said “Well, let’s play two”
Or did he mean two hundred years
In the same ball park, our diamond, our jewel
The home of our joy and our tears
Keeping traditions and wishes made new
The place where our grandfathers’ fathers grew
The spiritual feeling if I ever knew
If you ain’t been, I am sorry for you
And when the day comes for that last winning run
And I’m crying covered in beer
I look to the sky and know I was right
To think someday we’ll go all the way
Yeah someday we’ll go all the way
Some day we’ll go all the way
Yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
