Someday We Will Laugh

Thorin N. Tatge

Sung by Reba of Rivermill and Wing Commander Emery Wickliff

R: Someday we’ll have tea with the Surtr!

We will laugh and laugh

Clear a space and pass out saucers

Turn the pages back

Ask why they killed so many billions

And on whose behalf

Why all they liked to do was to attack

Someday we will laugh (x2)

R&E: Someday we will laugh (x4)

R: Someday we will...

E: Time is the greatest killer

R: But we will have relief

For time is also the greatest healer

And life wins over grief

R&E: Someday we will laugh! (x2)

R: Someday we will laugh!

E: Someday we’ll have tea with the Surtr!

Look into their eyes

R: Ask if they would like two sugars

E: Ask if they want cream

Contemplate their yen for destruction

Try to sympathize

As preposterous as it may seem

R&E: Someday we will laugh! (x7)

E: There is no dispute we can’t transcend

R: (There’s) no rift we cannot mend

E: (There’s) no conflict we can’t end

R&E: (There’s) no foe we can’t call friend!

Someday…

E: When someday we have tea with the Surtr

We can make a toast

Here’s to the end of civilization

Whenever it may be

Or here’s to its prolonged existence

R: Whichever you like most.

E: Now raise a cup and drink along with me!

R&E: Someday we will laugh! (x2)

R: Someday we will laugh!

E: Someday we will laugh!

R&E: Someday we will laugh! (x2)

R: Someday we will laugh…

E: …at all this.
