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
Thatll tear her all apart
And at her gravestone
We can remember
Just where we were
When we knew she would go
And I still remember the day that we left her
And thats when she said that she knows
How it goes
And we sang
Your day will come
Your day will come
Your day will come
And no matter what they say
It wont matter if you pray or if you sin
Cause in the end
Its all the same
Young man becomes a soldier
And he isnt much older
Than a boy and thats a shame
They will lead him into battle
And hand him a medal when he comes home rearranged
I have to say so
Of the man with the halo
He will obey
He will fall into place
Remember buy ribbons but never forgive them
Shoulder the bulk of the blame
What a shame
And we sing
Your day will come
Your day will come
Your day will come
And no matter what they say
It wont matter if you pray or if you sin
Cause in the end
Its all the same
If I only had a dollar
For every horror
That befalls my fellow man
Id never work another hour
But Id grow sour
From the guilt and bitterness
The luck of the draw will
Determine the fallen
And everyone else will relax and move on
But what will you do when
They come looking for you friend?
I hope that youre brave, and youre strong
Through it all
And we'll sing
Your day will come
Your day will come
And no matter what they say
It wont matter if you pray or if you sin
Cause in the end
