Until The Day Is Done

The battle's been lost, the war is not won An addled republic, a bitter refund The business first flat earthers licking their wounds The verdict is dire, the country's in ruins [Chorus] Providence blinked, facing the sun Where are we left to carry on Until the day is done Until the day is done As we've written our stories to entertain These notions of glory and bull market gain The tele-prompt flutters, the power surge brings An easy speed message falls into routine [Chorus] A voice whispers "Son, The blessed vision comes." What have I done What have I done So hold tight your babies and your guns Forgive us our trespasses, father and son [Chorus] Until the day is done Until the day is done Until the day is done Until the day is done --- Until the Day Is Done - R.E.M.
