One day   The fields will be green   And one day   The skies will be blue   And one day   The rivers will be bright silver ribbons   Running round the hills   Quiet hills      You'll see   One day   The rains will be soft   And one day   The winds will be sweet   Oh sweeter than springtime   And the whisper of lilac, apple, pine and pear   Will fill the air      And one day   A child full of wonder   Won't fear the dark sound of thunder   No dreams of danger   When a soldier is a stranger   >from a distant time   Distant world      On that morning   You stand   With tomorrow   Safe in your hand   That will be the day
