I'll see you when the suffering's over I'll be with you when the dealing's done I'll meet with you after the thunder Waiting for the day to come And I'll drink to the memory of my mother and father Waiting for the day to come Waiting for the day to come We see the truth through the eyes of our children Staring down the barrel of a gun They're reaching out for a different future Pushing for the day to come And they'll cry for the memory of their mothers and fathers Waiting for the day to come We see history repeating Empires fall and turn to dust There's so much blood, you can't see who's bleeding But it's us, it's us We all know that nothing lasts forever Tomorrow's only waiting for the sun We'll stay up till the darkness is deepest Praying for the day to come And we'll drink to the memory of our mothers and fathers Waiting for the day to come Waiting for the day to come Waiting for the day to come
