The Day After That

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Valentin:

It was made out of mud

And pieces of tin

And boxes nailed together

Cardboard boxes

My castle

My home

And we slept on the floor

My sister and I

With gunny sacks for our pillows

Coughing, hungry, cosy

My home

And every Sunday on our knees

We would thank the Lord

For his bountiful blessings

And our mother poured soup

Into little cracked bowls

As she spoke of something better

Beef steak, maybe, someday

My home

And that lady had eyes

That were empty and cold

At the ripe old age of thirty

Death came

Welcome

To my home

And still that Sunday

On our knees

How we thanked the Lord

For his bountiful blessings

And my sister and I

Swore the day that we left

There'd be no more children like us

In the filth there in the heat there.

In the smell there

And no more Sundays

On our knees

Would we thank the Lord

For his bountiful blessings

And we came to the city

And begged for our food

Then, one April day we heard it

Thunder rumbling

One man speaking

Thousands singing ..

Someday we'll be free

I promise you, we'll be free

If not tomorrow

Then the day after that

And the candles in our hands

Will illuminate this land

If not tomorrow

Then the day after that

And the world that gives us pain

That fills our lives with fear

On the day after that

Will disappear

And the war we've fought to win

I promise you, we will win

If not tomorrow

Then the day after that

Or the day after that

Valentin:

and families of the disappeared

Someday we'll be free

I promise you, we'll be free

If not tomorrow

Then (Or) the day after that

And the candles in our hands

Will illuminate this land

If not tomorrow

Then the day after that

And the world that gives us pain

That fills our lives with fear

On the day after that

Will disappear

Will disappear

And the war we've fought to win

I promise you, we will win

If not tomorrow

Then the day after that

Or the day after that

Or the day after that

Or the day after that

Or the day after that

Or the day

After that!
