Don’t Know When but a Day Is Gonna Come

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well 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? [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride And every man wanted her, yeah, and so did I Yeah, and so did I, but she up and died In a fit of vanity [Verse 4] Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns And they'll kill a man for what his father's done But what my father did, you know it don't mean shit I'm not him [Verse 5] But it's hard to ignore all the news reports They say we must defend ourselves, fight on foreign soil Against the infidels, with the oil wells God saves gas prices [Verse 6] And you think I need some discipline, well, I had my share Now, I've 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 [Verse 7] 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 [Verse 8] But now I've read some books and I've 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 [Verse 9] So I'll just sing my songs and I'll pass a hat And then I'll leave your town and I'll never look back No, I don't look back because the road is clear And laid out ahead of me [Verse 10] Now I'll get home, I'll meet my friends at our favorite bar We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts And we'll share a drink, yeah, we'll share our fears And they'll know how I love them [Bridge] They will know how I love They will know how I love them I'm nothing without their love [Verse 11] 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's supposed to be [Verse 12] 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? [Bridge] 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? [Outro] Could you please start explaining? You know, I need some understanding Could you please start explaining? You know, I need some understanding Could you please start explaining? You know, I need some understanding Could you go and start explaining? You know, I wanna understand
