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
