The night is gone and the dawn has broken



Do you ever wonder what's been buried under your shoes?
Do you ever wonder why troubles come in twos and threes and still-

All of our days are filled with joy and laughter
It's just a taste of the sweet, sweet hereafter
Where all of our names will be spoken
Like a dream that we awoke in
When the night is gone and the dawn has broken

Do you ever wonder what's been carried over your head?
Do you ever wonder why we don't just sleep the day away in bed?

Do you ever wonder what's been hidden behind your back?
Do you ever wonder why we want the things we lack and still-

All of our days are filled with joy and laughter
It's just a taste of the sweet, sweet hereafter
Where all of our names will be spoken
Like a dream that we awoke in
When the night is gone and the dawn has broken

Do you ever wonder what's appeared before your eyes?
Do you ever wonder why we can't just break the ties that hold us here where-

All of our days are filled with joy and laughter
It's just a taste of the sweet, sweet hereafter
Where all of our names will be spoken
Like a dream that we awoke in
When the night is gone and the dawn is broken

-"Sweet, Sweet Hereafter" by Clive
