lyrics

There will come a day when the rivers will call their children all home, grownup and small, and I’ll be there. Oh, I’ll be there. And there will come a day when cities will burn, and there will come a day when the teachers will learn what their students have known. Oh, what their students have known. And there will come a day when all is forgiven, there will come a day when we remember what we’re living for; not for revenge, and not for spite. There will come a day that fades not into night.

There will come a day when the roads will all crack, flowers pushing up through the concrete and blacktop, with no one to repair. Oh, what’s to repair? And there will come a day when the borders will fade, become nothing more but ideas on a page of a time long gone. Oh, of a time long gone. And there will come a day when all voices sing in the same crashing note, ushering in Spring. The Spring that thaws this Winter we’ve known, and we will reap everything that we’ve sown.

There will come a day when all is set straight, all people understand that we share the same fate as the least among us. Oh, as the least among us. And there will come a day when we know why we’re here; to live with compassion, to live without fear. Don’t be afraid, oh, don’t be afraid, because there will come a day when all people know the joy that’s within me, that was sown long ago in a waking dream or in a past life. There will come a day that fades not into night.
