Justin Rosolino - Come Sweet Day lyrics

11 hours and 13 minutes more

'Til emancipation's bells will start to ring

'Cause the law they finally passed

Hallelujah, free at last

So tomorrow makes a man from what had once been property

[Chorus]

So come, sweet day

And free me with your ray

For you alone I'll wait

I have heard that in the western world

There's a sense of time that some call cavalier

Well I guess the ease of pleasure

Makes it harder to remember

Just how it feels to see this world through hopeful tears

Hopeful tears

[Chorus]

So come, sweet day

And free me with your ray

For you alone I'll wait

Come, sweet day

Come, sweet day

Come and free me with your ray

For you alone I'll wait

Tonight I'll scale the highest mountain

And when I get there, I'll climb the tallest tree

And when I get there, I'll raise my hands towards heaven

Until I feel the light of morning touch my fingertips

And set me free

[Chorus]

Oh come, sweet day

Come and free me with your ray

For you alone I'll wait

Come, sweet day

Come, sweet day

Come and free me with your ray

For you alone

You alone, you alone

Come, sweet day
