Someday (i Will Understand) Lyrics
Nothing seems to be the way
That it used to
Everything seems shallow
God give me truth,
In me,
And tell me somebody's watching
Over me,
And that is all I'm praying is that
someday i will understand
in gods whole plan
and what hes done to me
oh but maybe someday i will breathe
and finally see
ill see it all in my baby
Don't you run too fast my dear
Why don't you stop?
stop and listen to your tears
They're all you've got
It's in you
You see somebody's watching
Over you
And that is all I'm praying is that
Someday you will understand
In God's whole plan
And what He does to you
Oh but maybe someday you will breathe
And you'll finally see
You'll see it all in your baby
You'll see it all in your baby
No moment, will be more true
than the moment, I look at you
It's in you
You see somebody's watching
Over you
And that is all I'm praying is that someday
You will understand
In Gods whole plan
And what he does to you
Oh but maybe
Someday you will breathe
And you'll finally see
You'll see it all in your baby,
You'll see it all in your baby,
You'll see it all in your baby,
You'll see it all in your baby

In the video, a pregnant Britney is found about her home on her bed and looking out onto her yard, which includes a statue of an angel and leaves falling from the trees. This was the first of Spears' videos to be shot entirely in black-and-white.

The video was directed by Michael Haussman and produced by Nina Wong for Person Films.
