Verse 1: A boy and his dad standing at the tracks Tears in their eyes, saying their goodbyes "why you gotta go? i don't understand" "i gotta fight a war, i gotta take a stand So listen to me now, don't be looking down You gotta stay strong, take care of your mom I promise you, it won't be long Before you know, i'll be coming home" chorus: Soon now, don't you blink Everything will be right faster than you think Soon now, there will be a day You won't be waiting anymore Hold on just a little bit longer Even though the longing in your heart gets stronger Soon now.. it's gonna be soon now verse 2: On her mama's bed, hands on her head Talking 'bout the one that was more than a crush How he broke her heart, how he made her cry Their talk about forever turned out to be a lie Mama said "baby, i've been there. i know what you're Feeling, i know that you're scared. I know at sixteen, it's so hard to see But you'll make it through, and love's gonna find you chorus: Soon now, don't you blink Everything will be right faster than you think Soon now, there will be a day You won't be waiting anymore Hold on just a little bit longer Even though the longing in your heart gets stronger Soon now.. it's gonna be soon now bridge: All you gotta do is just look around The walls of the world are falling down So many people looking for a way To find a little hope, to make it through the day But don't lose heart in the dark dark night There's morning waiting on the other side When love's gonna say "devil go running" Lift up your eyes, 'cause jesus is coming! chorus: Soon now, don't you blink Everything will be right faster than you think Soon now, there will be a day You won't be waiting anymore Hold on just a little bit longer Even though the longing in your heart gets stronger Soon now.. it's gonna be soon now Soon now It's gonna be soon now Soon now It's gonna be soon now
