Don't Know When But A Day Is Gonna Come lyrics

Is it true what I heard about the Son of God?

Did he come to save, did he come at all?

And if I dried his feet

With my dirty hair

Would he make me clean again?

They say they don't know when but a day is gonna come

When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun;

It will just go black

It will just go back

To the way it was before.

I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride,

And every man wanted her and so did I...

And so did I,

But she up and died

In a fit of vanity.

Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns

And they will kill a man for what his father has done,

But what my father did

You know it don't mean shit

I'm not him.

And you think I need some discipline well I've had my share

I have been sent to my room, I've been sat in a chair

And I held my tongue

I didn't plug my ears

No I got a good talking to.

Now I don't know why but I still try to smile

When they talk at me like I'm just a child

Well I'm not a child

No I am

Much younger than that.

And now I have read some books and I have grown quite brave

If I could just speak up I think I would say

That There is no truth

There is only you

And what you make the truth.

So I will just sing my songs and I'll pass a hat,

Then I'll leave your town and I'll never look back,

No I don't look back

Because the road is clear

Laid out ahead of me.

I'll get home and meet my friends at our favorite bar

We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts

And we will share a drink

Yeah we'll share our fears

And they will know how I love them

They will know how I love

They will know how I love them

I am nothing without their love

Now I don't know when but a day is gonna come

When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun

It will all go black

It will all go back

To the way it is supposed to be.

Is it true what they say about the Son of God?

Did he die for us, did he die at all?

And if I sold my soul

For a bag of gold

To you which one of us would be the foolish one?

Which one if us would be the fool?

Which one if us would be the fool?

Which one if us would be the fool?

Could you please start explaining?

You know I need some understanding.

I could do with some explaining,

You know I want to understand.
