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
