The Day That You've Been Waiting For
The goal was met, the promise kept, behold the Promised Land
The honey running thick just like they swore
And with sticky eyes you realize the prize is in your hand
It's the day that you've been waiting for
How they line the streets, the crowd competes with sparklers and steel
And all the banners that you do not mean to ignore
But there's a quarter mile between your smile and the way you really feel
About the day that you've been waiting for
And now this great procession banned from heaven storms the pearly gates
As St. Peter takes your coat and holds the door
And you wonder why you gave your life for such a stupid thing
On the day that you've been waiting for
Behold the mighty lamb, the son of man, the light shines from his face!
But if you're honest, you had half-expected more
And the great desire that fed the fire's already been replaced
Another day that you'll be waiting for
Well now it's just the way of this funny ape to not be satisfied
But you're closer at the start than at the goal
So when you reach the end and drop the pen and reach again you'll find
That it's the day that you've been waiting for
'Cause it's today that you've been waiting for
The honey running thick just like they swore
And with sticky eyes you realize the prize is in your hand
It's the day that you've been waiting for
How they line the streets, the crowd competes with sparklers and steel
And all the banners that you do not mean to ignore
But there's a quarter mile between your smile and the way you really feel
About the day that you've been waiting for
And now this great procession banned from heaven storms the pearly gates
As St. Peter takes your coat and holds the door
And you wonder why you gave your life for such a stupid thing
On the day that you've been waiting for
Behold the mighty lamb, the son of man, the light shines from his face!
But if you're honest, you had half-expected more
And the great desire that fed the fire's already been replaced
Another day that you'll be waiting for
Well now it's just the way of this funny ape to not be satisfied
But you're closer at the start than at the goal
So when you reach the end and drop the pen and reach again you'll find
That it's the day that you've been waiting for
'Cause it's today that you've been waiting for
