"My Day Is Coming," previously titled "Our Time Will Come," is the 17th track on "Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo."

Overview

"My Day Is Coming" was written by Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo in 2006. The song was demoed, along with "Heart Songs", in a Japanese mega-mall recording studio while Cuomo was on honeymoon in Japan. It is an ode to the U.S. men's soccer team. Cuomo had wanted to go to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and called the U.S. Soccer Federation to ask them for tickets. They gave him the tickets but asked him to write an anthem for the U.S. men's national team. Cuomo didn't have time to follow through with the request until after the team had lost in the first round. Depressed after the team's poor performance in the World Cup, Cuomo ended up writing a song filled more with despair than triumph.

Cuomo would later write "Represent," another ode to the U.S. men's national soccer team, in 2010.

Lyrics

<lyrics>Sometimes I lose my pride And leave my best behind And everybody has a good laugh But still I understand The chance is in my hand Someday I'm going to make 'em believe

So people all around Let me hear you lay it down This is all the hope I have

My day is coming My day is coming My day is coming, it's coming up someday

It ain't too far from now I'm gonna work it out Today is better than yesterday My shining star will rise And lead me to the prize The best of times are on the way

So people all around Let me hear you lay it down This is all the hope I have

My day is coming, it's coming someday My day is coming, it might be today My day is coming, it's coming up someday

And when I get the things I want to have Will I look back on the critics Will I say that they were stupid That they underestimated me all along

Landon Donovan DaMarcus Beasley Freddy Adu Clint Dempsey Oguchi Onyewu Bobby Convey Eddie Johnson Steve Cherundolo Brian Ching Carlos Bocanegra Jimmy Conrad Pat Noonan Let me hear you say

My day is coming, it's coming someday My day is coming, it might be today My day is coming, it's coming up someday

My day is coming, it's coming up someday
