Verse 1:
There will come a day when sorrow fades away,
And anguish and heartache shall ease,
No mothers cryin`, no soldiers dyin`,
And turmoil and misery shall cease.
Verse 2:
The hungry shall be fed, the aimless shall be led
And sad eyes will no longer weep,
The last shall be first, through heaven he`ll burst
With his heavenly host from the East
1st Chorus:
Weapons to plowshares, hate turns to love,
Descending from heaven he`ll sweep down to us
In radiant splendor; oh, won`t it be sweet
When the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace
(Raven dove)
Verse 3:
Oh, there will come a day when I`ll fly away
Forever to be in his keep
Eternal life in the sweet by and by
When raven dove, raven dove speaks
2nd Chorus:
When lambs walk with lions, a child tames the beast
Nations shall gather and bow at his feet
And loved ones shall rise up from their earthly sleep
And he`ll separate all the chaff from the wheat.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, how sweet
When the raven of darkness turns into a white dove of peace
Tag:
Raven dove, behold he cometh in the clouds
And every eye shall see him
Sweet bird, sweet bird of peace
Raven Dove
