Bob Catley: This Is The Day

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 is living this way
Just like a lover's first heartache
We change the rule to our fool's game

This is the day and time like the tide is slipping slowly away
The colour of rainbow eyes, have drifted bright to grey
This is the day, take the moment, change the world, a new better way
Lets 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 colour of rainbow eyes, have drifted bright to grey
This is the day, take the moment, change the world, a new better way
Lets find the truth behind the lies, where hearts can beat as one
The calm before the storm, this is the day

Before the 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 colour of rainbow eyes, have drifted bright to grey
This is the day, take the moment, change the world, a new better way
Lets find the truth behind the lies, where hearts can beat as one
The calm before the storm, this is the day
