There Will Come a Day (Holly's Song)

I couldn't even count the times

I've had to look away

So you wouldn't see my teardrops fall

Like a river down my face

I'd trade you places if I could

I'd only be too glad

So you could be like all the rest

But it just don't work like that.



But there will come a day my friend

All the pain and heartaches end

And the greatest gift we'll ever see

Is when like a bird you'll fly so free

I pray it won't be very long

There'll be no need to sing this song

And we'll laugh at how we used to say

There will come a day.



You never stop impressing me

With quiet strength and faith

Living life with your head held high

And a heart so full of grace

I search for rhyme and reason yes

I try to understand

And try not to worry about those things

That are out of our hands.



But there will come a day my friend

All the pain and heartaches end

And the greatest gift we'll ever see

Is when like a bird you'll fly so free

I pray it won't be very long

There'll be no need to sing this song

And we'll laugh at how we used to say

There will come a day...
