Lyrics

On a cold cold night, too tired for bed
All the thoughts in my head are trying to lay down
I've got a good question, you might say it's hard
Although it's so simple a child could have prayed it to God
He was a good soldier he is a good man
He's been a good father he does what he can
He's had a hard road 'most all the way
When is it his turn, when is it His Day?

I sleep with the light on right by the bed in case I awake in the dark on this cold rainy night
I think we deserve half of a chance some never get their invitation to dance
He was a good soldier he is a good man
He's been a good father he does what he can
He's had a hard road 'most all the way
I'm trying to hold on while you take him away

It's nearly morning in rains the dawn
Nothing is fair not even love, we just go on, and on
with our lives every day but I will invite him to dance and I'll beg him to stay
He was a good soldier he is a good man
He's been a good father he does what he can
He's had a hard road 'most all the way
When is it his turn, when is it His Day?
I say it's his turn,
Today is His Day
