Your Day Will Come

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 you knew she would go And I still remember that day that we left her That’s when she said that she knows how it goes "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 A young man becomes a soldier   He’s 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 And 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 "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 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 "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
