SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS
Stevie Wonder recorded this song in 1967, a time of great domestic and international strife. It is no accident that bombs and war found their way into a Christmas song. But hope is the true meaning of this song, just as hope is the true meaning of Christmas.
Man the toolmaker has come a long way since 1967, filling our world with gadgets and gizmos that enable us to do more of the same faster than ever. Man the dreamer still has some work to do.
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Take hope because your love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
