Come the Day

I know that one day soon a song shall rise;
You’ll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes,
You’ll waken to a brand new day,
Can you hear bells ringin’,
Voices singin’,
Far away?

A time when every man will be as one,
A time to reach right out and touch the sun,
Come the day.
Freedom’s still a thought within your mind,
The fleeting thing that some may never find,
It may be still a million miles away,
Can you hear bells ringin’,
Voices singin’,
Far away?

A time to live without doubt or fear,
Welcome to the happy world that will be here
Come the day.
The trumpets of war will cease to blow
The sound I hope that we may never know
We’re waiting for the day,
Can you hear bells ringin’,
Voices singin’,
Far away?

Lift up your voices and sing this song,
Let the whole world hear it loud and strong,
Can you hear bells ringin’,
Voices singin’,
Far away?
