Analysis of There will come a day
There will come a day
When the word "alone" will be your friend.
There will come a day
When all memories will dim in the end.
There will come a day
When your body is weak and old.
There will come a day
When blood is thicker than water, it is so told !
There will come a day
Your body will crumble, but your thinker still hums.
There will come a day
Your memories will be only sum !
There will come a day
When all is said and done.
There will come a day
Was it about you or for others to see?
There will come a day
With hate, envy, greed, love, giving, praising was there.
There will come a day
My flight booked and passport, heaven is my survival !
There will come a day
To see my loved ones and many friends.
There will come a day
When real loving and living will have began !
