Day In The Life

It was just another day in the life of planet earth

Twenty-four more hours going by

Traffic was heavy and there was a little rain

Babies were born and people died

Up in Alaska it was thirty-one below

Down in Miami it was hot

Honky tonks were crowded and the people partied on

In church a couple tied the knot

The headlines screamed about the rapid spread of AIDS

Famine and war were in the news

An earthquake shook some far off corner of the world

Another child had been abused

Then something happened in the twinkling of an eye

Some watched in horror as a plane fell from the sky

Trains ran wild and cars were crashing there were ships without a captain

Millions of people had just vanished from the earth

Panic and confusion were the order of the day

Grown men were weeping and some people tried to pray

A mocking echo in the madness seemed to say it's too late

And then a stranger stepped on to the TV screen

He said don't worry I'm the one

Who will bring peace to every corner of this earth

And now the world shall be as one

All kings and governments will give their power to me

I'll put a mark in your right hand

For three and one-half years the whole world was at peace

Then darkness fell upon the land

He went into the temple in Jerusalem one day

He said I'm God you all must bow

To the valley of Megiddo came the armies of the world

It looked as though the end was coming now

Then something happened in the twinklin' of an eye

A mighty trumpet blast and in the eastern sky

Came Jesus on a snow white horse leadin' heaven's shining forces

This is the hour of the final victory

The ones who wore the mark were shoutin' Satan you're a liar

As angels bound him up and threw him in the lake of fire

Praises to God's name were ringing all the saints were singing

Hallelujah hallelujah

(Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah)
