On Such a Day

On a day such as this
A smile would be amiss
On a day such as this
A friend might need a wish

Be careful what you say
As life ebbs away
Don’t ever tease the flame

He’ll pull you right under
Pure water will wash away the stain
These hard times,
We’ll master
On that day death becomes our slave

On a day such as this
The helplessness insists
That a day such as this
Is a day we’ll never miss

If people need to pray don’t judge their ways
Just let them have their say

He’ll pull you right under
Pure water will wash away the stain
These hard times, we’ll master
On that day death becomes our slave
Our slave

On a day like this
The walls are closing in
On a day like this
The air is wearing thin
On a day like this
The frost is black with sin
On a day like this
The world won’t let me in

On a day like this
The world forgets to spin, (Yeah)
On a day like this
The world won't let me in, (Yeah, yeah)
On a day like this
The world won’t let me in

On a day like this
