Your Day Will Come
[Verse 1]
A young lady leaves her
Mother
With no one to love her
To protect her from the world
And I have seen the
Monsters
That will haunt her
That will tear her all apart
And at her gravestone
We will remember
Just where we were
When we knew she would go
And I still remember
The day that we left her
And that's when she said
That she knows
How it goes
And we sang:

[Chorus]
Your day will
Come
Your day will
Come
Your day will
Come
And no matter what they say
It won’t matter if you pray or if you
Sin
'Cause in the end
It’s all the same
Your day will
Come
Your day will
Come
Your day will
Come
And no matter what they say
It won’t matter if you pray or if you
Sin
'Cause in the end
It’s all the same
[Verse 2]
A young man becomes a soldier
He isn’t much older
Than a boy and that’s a shame
They will lead him into battle
Hand him medals
When he comes home rearranged
At the say-so
Of a man with a halo
He will obey
He will fall into place
Remembered by ribbons
But never forgiven
He'll shoulder the bulk
Of the blame
What a shame
And we'll sing:

[Verse 3]
If I only had a dollar
For every horror
That befalls my fellow man
I'd never work another hour
But I’d grow sour
From the guilt and bitterness
The luck of the draw will
Determine the fallen
And everyone else
Will relax and move on
But what will you do when
They come looking for you, friend?
I hope that you’re brave
And you’re strong
Through it all
[Chorus]
Your day will
Come
Your day will
Come
Your day will
Come
And no matter what they say
It won’t matter if you pray or if you
Sin
'Cause in the end
It’s all the same
