Bob Catley - This Is The Day lyrics

We're saints and sinners Bound to live and breathe as one Where love and hate are brothers We just dance to different drums And angels fear to tread This world that has become Where mothers mourn their daughters And fathers grieve their sons Between a rock and a hard place No rhyme or reason in living this way Just like a lover's first heartache We change the rules to our fool's games This is the day And time like the tide Is slipping slowly away The colours of rainbow's eyes Have drifted bright to grey This is the day Take the moment Change the world A new better way Let's find the truth behind the lies Where hearts can beat as one The calm before the storm This is the day We curse the candlelight The drifting of the sands The venom and the hatred For the distant foreign lands We gaze with eyes, with cold despise And clench the helping hand To the beggar and the blind man You and me, the common man We fight the fire with salvation We quest creation with wonder and pain We starve with fear and the hunger We kiss the flames and the thunder This is the day And time like the tide Is slipping slowly away The colours of rainbow's eyes Have drifted bright to grey This is the day Take the moment Change the world A new better way Let's find the truth behind the lies Where hearts can beat as one The calm before the storm This is the day Before this madness grows colder The dream grows older as time ticks away We'll greet the birth of a new day This is the day This is the day And time like the tide Is slipping slowly away The colours of rainbow's eyes Have drifted bright to grey This is the day Take the moment Change the world A new better way Let's find the truth behind the lies Where hearts can beat as one The calm before the storm This is the day
