God Bless The Day
Golden Earring · The Red Bullet Years [2002]
When it's not all clear
All you can hear is the silence
Of a fairy-like noise far away
In the morning dawn
When it's not all clean
All you have seen is the burying
Of a fairy-like bright early day
The Lord will bless this day
And our food
And the weapons of the enemy in the neighbourhood
The Lord will bless the victory
Of every fool
With a gun, thinkin' he can change the rule
God bless the day, God bless the day
God bless the day, God bless the day
Like one says
He will bless
And we will wait
For what he'll create
God Bless The Day
