The Day the World Came Home

Yes, they’ll talk of it forever/ As they watch their candles glow
The day the world came together/ Was the day the world came home
The day they closed the businesses/ The day the streets were bare
And strangers kept their distances/ And strangers dared to care
Yes, they’ll talk of it forever/ As they watch their candles glow
The day the world came together/ The day the world came home
When families stopped and listened/ Every woman, man and child
When hopes were sealed with heart-felt wishes/ And deals were sealed in kind
For those who leave us now/ Your names they’ll carve in stone
And they’ll meet at dawn to honour your souls/ And the day the world came home
Yes, they’ll talk of it forever/ As they watch their candles glow
The day the world came together/ The day the world came home
Yes, they’ll talk of it forever/ As they watch their candles glow
The day the world came together/ The day the world came home
