The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Someday (Original, Heidi Mollenhauer version) - Lyrics 

I like Someday as a song better, but God Help the Outcasts fits the moment better.

In the musical, Esmeralda sings this song the night before being burned, and it is that much more powerful.

If she sings this in the live action version they’re doing I’m gonna flood the cinema with tears.

“Someday” walked so “God Help the Outcasts” COULD RUNN

Even these Storyboards are so striking. Just these are enough to bring a tear to my eye.

I love "Someday" as a song, and the lyrics in this version. We would've definitely missed out had it not made the soundtrack (with All-4-One singing it, too). But "God Help the Outcasts" encompassed Esmeralda's complex relationship with The Church as she's literally singing in one, and talking to God himself. Trying to figure out the hypocrisy of Church leaders (excluding the Archbishop's character), and the parishioners' judgemental actions (or inaction) towards others *not* like them, vs the life and teachings of Christ they claim to follow is all in the subtext of the song. Something still relevant to this day, no matter the denomination. Pointing out that Christ was also an outcast has a deeper emotional impact vital to the story when all three main protagonists are outcasts. Phoebus becomes one eventually -- for having a forbidden love, and refusing to follow orders to commit genocide. The lyrics of "God Help the Outcasts" make Esmeralda a much more interesting character with much more depth than if she had sung "Someday" in that particular moment.

I wish they could have included this song in the movie somewhere! It is so beautiful! Esmeralda may not be an official Disney Princess, but she is in my book! She has the qualities and is a great role model to people everywhere!

I like this song it reminds me of when I was growing up that people thought I was not going to thrive academically not go to college not be aloud to live on my own at all and have little or no control of my life. I am grateful that I proved a lot of things wrong, and it is unfortunate that my road to becoming independent was filled with doubt, being so underestimated and verbal abuse. Also, I am being controlled by doing things that i can or not being allowed to do. I am now living on my own. I have an actual job. I am on the autism spectrum

I felt like this song would've served better in a different part of the movie. God Help the outcasts makes sense given the gravity of Esmerelda's situation being hunted by Frollo, and looking for answers within the church. That song solidifies her awareness for the circumstances beyond her own, more specifically her people. It's much better development for a character that seeks to put others' safety above her own.

she has such a beautiful voice. unfortunately she hasn t done more.

Thankfully they prefer "God Help the Outcasts" over this version. I like this version of "Someday", but somehow "God Help the Outcasts" is more touching.

Okay. Okay. Now I demand this sequence get animated.

I've listened to the version sung by the R&B group All-4-One but this is my first time hearing this version. It's heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.

So beautiful, and I love this song so much (so glad that Someday made the musical and that the All 4 One version made the soundtrack). However - I think God Help the Outcasts fit the moment better and the verses showing about Christ being an outcast and the more self absorbed prayers of the followers were very important to the story - “I ask for wealth, I ask for fame, I ask for glory to shine on my name…” (words of people of means) Vs Esmeralda - “I ask for nothing, I can get by, for there are so many less lucky than I”

"Someday" Esmeralda's anthem of hope!

I like the way Esmeralda looks in this too, a little more rough around the edges. In the film, she looks a bit too princessy and perfect to be a gypsy.

I prefer this version. Thank you for uploading. 💕

Why in gods name did this song get replaced?! “God Help the Outcasts” didn’t hit this hard at the soul

If the film's ending stayed closer to the book's, a slightly reworked version of this could have been Esmeralda's last song before being hanged.

This version of Someday is better than the end credits imo.

I only knew the versions by Eternal and the musical. This is absolutely stunning!! Love it. Thanks for uploading

The best comparison I can think of with this song is Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come". Its themes are similar in that they talk about struggle for the unfortunate and how if we can all learn to treat each other with respect, that someday the world will be better off. Really outstanding

I feel like singing this song when I’m having a bad day

Good song but God Help the Outcasts is the better choice.

R.I.P. David Ogden Stiers and Tony Jay The Archdeacon and Judge Frollo are now in Heaven 😢😭😭😭😢😭

So beautiful 🥹

Christy Carlson Romano should play Esmeralda. She would nail this song.

“You raise your voice and it’s enough to lift the human spirit. Set the song inside you soaring, and the whole wide world will hear it.” Here after Harmonious ended in Epcot. 😥

Why does Esmeralda look like Mother Goethel?

I love this song, but I don't love this version of it because God Help The Outcasts is so powerful.

Ariel should sing this song if they ever did a follow-up to return to the sea instead of the s***** ass prequel we got.

1:32 are these demons???

🇺🇲Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (🇲🇽Disney's El Jorobado De Notre Dame)

this is not someday that was originally in this spot that is a different song look up someday laurie beechman

When Disney was Disney 🥹

0:40. (Ignore this)

Thank god that this song made it into the musical version!

Many countries play BOTH "Someday" and "God Help the Outcasts" in the end credits.

considering the fact that this song was placed in a movie around the XV century I think we can say that until now nothing's really changed much, nowadays more than 500 years later we still have problems with greed and need. And with all the crap the song sounds so real that could be sung in the XXI century.

Imagine if there was no gargoyle song and she sang this in the dungeon

I am so glad they added this song into the stage musical version. This song gives me goose bumps

This isn't bad, but I am really, *really* happy we got "God Help the Outcasts" instead.

R.I.P. David Ogden Stiers and Tony Jay The Archdeacon and Judge Frollo are now in Heaven 😢😢😭😭😢🌹🌹

Disney used this song as a finale song for HarmonioUS at EPCOT.

The movie needs to have both songs featured. They’ll be really dumb if they don’t. Idk which version because I love the duet version for its intimacy and it’s a great character moment for Esmeralda, but I LOVE how loud the German version gets. It’s chill inducing every time.

This song totally deserves to have 0 dislikes, and it makes sense, who would hate this?

This is my favourite deleted Disney song (along with If I never knew you). I wish they could animate a scene where Esmeralda sings this the night before her execution...where it is now placed in the stage show for the 30th Anniversary. I think God Help The Outcasts was the right choice for this moment...but both songs are absolutely beautiful.

Listening to this song now.... I'm so sorry, Esmerelda 😔

I like this version

Beautiful music I truly loved and think I wish if 'Someday' or 'God Help The Outcast' should have earn a Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.

Wasn't there supposed to be a love song between her and Phoebus? I wish that one was in the movie. Anyways thank you for uploading this. I never would have found it without this channel.

This one is better. I really don't understand the decision, because "Someday," more than any of the other songs, captures the feeling you get when reading "Notre Dame de Paris." Yes, that's Hugo's original title, and it's not really a story about a hunchback, it's a story about a cathedral that stands through centuries of dark history, watching the hopes of each generation rise but ultimately be extinguished by oppression and dysfunction. Hugo wrote it in 1831, after the Renaissance and in the midst of the Enlightenment, which had in some measure transformed Western culture in the manner Esmerelda longs for in these lyrics.

This and God And Help The Outcasts made me cry like a bitch.

So sad this song isn't in the movie, I wonder what happen to Heidi?

I love both someday and God help the outcasts, but I would like a production version of this song its so beautiful and sad

wow those sketches look dope, i would watch the full movie in that style!

🇺🇲Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (🇲🇽Disney's El Jorobado De Notre Dame)

Things from the stage version that HAVE to make it into the live action version: - THIS SONG (but in another part of the film, so we can still get "God Help the Outcasts"!!! - Making Quasimodo deaf! This is actually from the book, and is shown brilliantly in the stage show! - Ciara Reneé as Esmeralda. Absolutely perfect casting! - "Top of the World" duet between Quasimodo and Esmeralda! - Phoebus's PTSD backstory, just come from the trenches. Gives him more depth. - "Esmeralda" song. Goosebump worthy piece with choir and whole cast!! - "MADE OF STONE", a powerhouse solo from Quasimodo!! One of the best songs in the show!! Seriously, there are so many incredible moments in both versions, if they combined them, Disney may just have their best movie of all time!!!

Earlier version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame

This song is miles beyond the soppy, clunky song that replaced it. My opinion and I stand by it. Don't @ me.

I ❤ Notre Dame when I was Kid I didn't know it was a Real cathedral

I usually Watched Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame 1 and 2 in 🇺🇲English and Spanish 🇲🇽

An incredibly powerful and touching performance without going "over the top" in any way. And beautiful drawings too. The version in the movie credits is good too, but more rhythmically rigid (for better *and* worse) and definitely not as touching as this.

🌹🌹😭😭😢😢😭R.I.P. David Ogden Stiers and Tony Jay

I like those lyrics better than god help the outcasts' 🥰

Un principio y un final ❤

FAKE A F. 🤣🤣🤣
