When the day comes down And everybody says it's just a cycle Through suffered dreams We will flee for our survival I'm sorry, son At six this war can't be won I still hold hope for you When the day comes down And when the night does fall You'll just be growing tired of the same thing I hope you'll say "I'll be a better person than you made me" Though pulled and torn This world can keep you warm There's better nights ahead When the day comes down I'm not your mother, dear I know we've barely met And you don't know me We've seen the signs You've been sublime in how you've shown me With trust and love I know you will rise above The trap they set for you When the day comes down I still hold hope for you When the day comes down I still have hope for you This world has love for you When the day comes down
