Soon the Day Will Arrive

Representative Text

1 Soon the day will arrive
when we will be together,
and no longer will we live in fear.
And the children will smile
without wondering whether
on that day thunderclouds will appear.

Refrain:
Wait and see, wait and see
what a world there can be
if we share, if we care, you and me.
Wait and see, wait and see
what a world there can be
if we share, if we care, you and me.

2 Some have dreamed, some have died
to make a bright tomorrow,
and our vision remains in our hearts.
Now the torch must be passed
with new hope, not in sorrow,
and a promise to make a new start. [Refrain]
