Chorus Lyrics
There Will Come a Day
The video opens on a busy street in Brooklyn, New York. Among the people are beggars, young and old, asking for tiny handouts. Aelita steps out from the bustling crowd onto a quiet alleyway. The intro to the song starts as she enters the alleyway; she then notices a homeless man.
It's not easy
trying to understand
how the world can be
so cold
steeling the soul
of a man.
She continues to walk as it begins to rain.
Cloudy skies rain down
on all your dreams
The alleyway becomes narrower and very hard to navigate for a normal person, but her child-like stature makes moving through it look easy.
You wrestle with
the fear and doubt
sometimes it's hard
but you gotta believe
She exits the alleyway and the rain stops and the sun begins to shine again.
There's a better place
where our father waits
She walks into a park and a child smiles at her.
And every tear
he'll wipe away
She looks to a side walk and the camera turns to reveal a family being reunited.
The darkness will be gone
the weak shall be strong
hold on to your faith
there will come a day
There will come a day
The setting changes to a house where the adults are fighting and their children are watching from the top of the stairs. Aelita stands mid stairwell unseen, like an angel, watching the fight.
Wars are raging
lives are scattered
She then looks at the children
Innocence is lost
and hopes are shattered
There is a lot more depth of emotion in what would usually be a gentle voice.
The setting changes back to the park where an elderly man sat homeless and a little boy stood begging for money she looks at them sorrowfully.
The old are forgotten
the children are forsaken.
The sorrow and sadness in her voice turns to frustration and anger as she turns away her fists tense with her anger.
In this world we're living in
is there anything sacred?
Her fists loosen and she continues to walk
There's a better place
where our father waits
And every tear
he'll wipe away.
The darkness will be gone
the weak shall be strong.
Hold on to you faith
'cause there will come a day
there will come a day
The setting changes to a pristine park and all around are people including, Jeremy, Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, Sissy, Herb Nicolas, Emily, Millie, Tamya and the people that were seen throughout the video to name just a few. Aelita now sings with the passion that lay buried deep within her heart.
The sound will ring out
Down those golden streets
the voices of Earth
with the angels will sing
Hallelujah
Aelita raises her open hands to the sky and most of the crowd follow suite.
Every knee will bow
sin will have no trace
in the glory of his amazing grace.
Amazing grace
Every knee will bow
sin will have no trace
In the glory of his amazing grace
Her arms fall to her sides and her green eyes gaze skyward.
There will come a day
There will come a day
Oh, there will com a day
I know there's coming a day,
coming a day.
She eases down onto her knees as the song ends and so does the video.
The End
A/n: this is my first attempt and a music video style song fic, so please give me your opinion, but please note that all flames will be used to heat the water for my tea. (Or redirected at Dartz from Yu-Gi-Oh Waking the Dragons (don't own), who deserves them, whichever I chose)
