2.Don't Know When But A Day Is Gonna Come

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 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.
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.
So you think I need some discipline, well, I 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.
And 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 have grown quite brave. If
only 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 song and I'll pass a hat. Then I'll leave
your town and never look back.
No, I don't look back because the road is clear and 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 will 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.
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 I heard 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, which one of us would
be the foolish one?
Which one of us would be the fool? Which one of us would be the
foolish one?
Which one of us would be the fool?
Could you please start explaining? You know, I need some
understanding.
I could do good with some explaining. You know. I want to
understand.
