Don't Know When But A Days Gonna Come

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



They say the don't know when but a days 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 yeah and so did I

Yeah 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 fathers 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

No 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 talkin' 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



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



So I'll just sing my songs and I'll pass ahead

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



Now I'll get home I'll meet my friends at a favorite bar

We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts

And we'll share a drink yeah we'll share out fears

And they'll know how I love them - I'm nothing without their love



Now I don't know when but a days 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



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 foolish one?

Which one if us would be the fool?
