Church - One Day lyrics

rate me

Tell me, is everything unplanned?<br />

It's all so unexpected that I just can't understand<br />

We run so hard and always end up in the same place<br />

"Glad that went so smoothly" well that never is the case<br />

<br />

<br />

One day - doubtless, cloudless, bright<br />

We'll shake away the shadows of eternal night<br />

It's just the storm before the calm<br />

Like the life held in your palm - it's clay, one day<br />

<br />

<br />

And you stand there, with ashes blowing past<br />

Dipping into gilt-edged love that will be made at last<br />

And the gold you spend and the hastening end<br />

That you throw into the sea<br />

Coming back a hundredfold, there's no guarantee<br />

<br />

<br />

We'll walk and be like giants, we'll all be honest men<br />

I go back to my blindness so that I may see again<br />

A woman standing on a hill is gazing out to sea<br />

Dreaming of a new age waiting there for me<br />

I call her from a distance and she smiles into the sun<br />

And men and gods begin their dance, for their time has begun<br />

And holy wars extended and battlefields of pain<br />

Washed away, forgotten in the perfect rain<br />

Princes, kings and humble things are well-worn and content<br />

Messengers come everywhere, envoys have been sent<br />

"Na na na na, na na na na na<br />

A palm tree nodded at me last night he said<br />

'Hey you look so pale.' "
