A Day is Coming

 A day is coming
 in which misery will end.
 A day is coming
 in which poverty
 will open bank accounts
 in every nation.
 A day is coming.
 I hear it coming.
 A day is coming
 in which the
 campesino
 will gather his children a green spring
 and go on vacations.
 I believe it.
 I see it.
 A day is coming
 in which a soldier will be
 decorated
 for helping
 instead of killing
 his poor brother.
 A day is coming
 in which lovers
 will serve themselves from large bowls
 warm love and faithfulness.
 A day is coming
 in which the Christ who returns
 is the Christ who never left.
 A day is coming
 in which the father will ask the son
 for friendship
 instead of respect.
 A day is coming
 in which the student
 and a poor laborer
 will be half and half.
 A day is coming
 in which the prisoners
 come out
 running in the fields and shouting
 about their freedom.
 A day is coming,
 I see it coming.
