Charlie Daniels Band - A Day in the Life lyrics

It was just another day in the life of planet earth Twenty-four more hours going by Traffic was heavy and there was a little rain Babies were born and people died Up in Alaska it was thirty-one below Down in Miami it was hot Honky tonks were crowded and the people partied on In church a couple tied the knot The headlines screamed about the rapid spread of AIDS Famine and war were in the news An earthquake shook some far off corner of the world Another child had been abused Then something happened in the twinkling of an eye Some watched in horror as a plane fell from the sky Trains ran wild and cars were crashing there were ships without a captain Millions of people had just vanished from the earth Panic and confusion were the order of the day Grown men were weeping and some people tried to pray A mocking echo in the madness seemed to say it's too late And then a stranger stepped on to the TV screen He said don't worry I'm the one Who will bring peace to every corner of this earth And now the world shall be as one All kings and governments will give their power to me I'll put a mark in your right hand For three and one-half years the whole world was at peace Then darkness fell upon the land He went into the temple in Jerusalem one day He said I'm God you all must bow To the valley of Megiddo came the armies of the world It looked as though the end was coming now Then something happened in the twinklin' of an eye A mighty trumpet blast and in the eastern sky Came Jesus on a snow white horse leadin' heaven's shining forces This is the hour of the final victory The ones who wore the mark were shoutin' Satan you're a liar As angels bound him up and threw him in the lake of fire Praises to God's name were ringing all the saints were singing Hallelujah hallelujah (Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah)
