Some people always complain that their life is too short so they hurry it along
Their worries drive them insane but they still go along for the ride
As for me
I have all the time in the world

I was born
A someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born
A someday man
I was always wild

Tomorrow's a new day, baby
Anything can happen
Anything can happen at all

Some folks are working for reasons and waiting for answers they're never
gonna find
They keep on searching for pleasures and looking for what they can't see
But for me
Life can be a sweet holiday

I was born
A someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born
A someday man
I was always wild

Tomorrow's a new day, baby
Anything can happen
Anything can happen at all

I was born
A someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born
A someday man
I was always wild

I was born
A someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born
A someday man
I was always wild
