Song Lyrics

When the chains around me no longer ground me
and my soul can sail away to a better life -
That'll be the Day

And when the silence is broken and words unspoken
can finally have their say, then we'll all sing out -
That'll be the Day
That'll be the Day

We should be together like the sand and the sea
Like the rocks in the sunshine go together with the
grass on the summer ground, the leaves on the tree
Like the sheep and the meadow go together like the words and the music
The honey and the bee, like the work and the play -
that'll be the day

And when those feelings I've hidden are no longer forbidden
and our love is here to stay
Then we'll all shine on -
That'll be the Day
That'll be the Day

Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison, Norman Petty
