Tom Cochrane - Victory Day lyrics

She's got her reasons, she's got her pride Though she's beaten black and blue One fine day she'll be walking outside She'll turn to see what is true Won't draw no curtains, be hiding no way On that Victory Day She's stuck it out, she's hung in tough She won't be running away He says it will change, but each time it does It starts up all over again He wants the thunder, the crashing of waves The guts, the glory of victory parades She says it just never happens that way On that Victory Day Victory Day, Victory Day There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display If you walk with me we'll get there someway On that Victory Day In the sun, walk by the water, in the sun She says life isn't big, not it's kind of small Made of small moments, they're all strung together If you don't look out, you might miss them all Then it's just pa**ed you on by like the weather He wants that thunder and crashing of waves The guts, the glory of victory parades She says I'll give you much more than you'll take On that Victory Day Victory Day, Victory Day There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display If you walk with me we'll get there someway On that Victory Day And he's gotten so close and he won't let it fade And the reasons still haunt you for the mistakes you made She says let it go, 'cause it's time for a change But he's still a little boy trapped between pages Time to walk away from him She said "I'll take you some place where I know it will change" Victory Day, Victory Day There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display If you walk with me we'll get there someway On that Victory Day, on that Victory Day (Repeat)
