A young lady leaves her mother With no one to love her To protect her from the world And I have seen the monsters That will haunt her That’ll tear her all apart
And at her gravestone We will remember Just where we were When we knew she would go And I still remember the day that we left her And that's when she said that she knows How it goes And we sang
[Chorus: x2] Your day will come, your day will come, your day will come And no matter what they say It won’t matter if you pray or if you sin Cause in the end It’s all the same
Young man becomes a soldier And he isn’t much older Than a boy and that’s a shame They will lead him into battle And the medals when he comes home rearranged
I have to say so Of the man with the halo He will obey he fall into place Remember [?] but never forgive them Ensuring the bulk of the blame What a shame And we'll see
If I only had a dollar For every horror That befalls my fellow man And they will work another hour But I’d grow sour From the guilt and bitterness The luck on the draw will Determine the fallen And everyone else will relax and fall But what will you do when They come looking for you friend? I hope that you’re brave, and you’re strong Through it all
