Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You need it, that's for sure
You receive, but always want more
Taken for granted
This lifetime and what's up ahead
[Chorus]
But the day is coming
The day is near
The day is coming
You know what I mean
The day is coming
The way is clear
The day has come
[Verse 2]
Bang, bang on the door
You opened not knowing what for
If opportunity rears its head
Will you answer or stay home in bed?
Hey, babe
[Instrumental]
'Cause the day is coming
The day is near
The day is coming
You know what I mean
The day is coming
The way is clear
The day has come, oh
Hey, babe
[Instrumental]
'Cause the day is coming
The day is near
The day is coming
You know what I mean
The day is coming
The way is clear
The day has come
