‘A Day May Come’ is the new choral anthem by Debbie Wiseman, set to specially written words by the contemporary Welsh poet Grahame Davies and performed by VOCES8.
Composed to mark the national celebrations around the 80th anniversaries of VE Day (8th May) and VJ Day (14th August), the work speaks of sacrifice, remembrance and hope, and the power of living life through the example of others.
Set to music of beauty, tenderness, and emotion, ‘A Day May Come’ is sung by the award-winning choral ensemble Voces8, and was recorded in the historic Voces8 Centre, housed in the church of St Anne & St Agnes, a Wren building situated in the heart of the City of London.
TEXT
A day may come that asks of us
all we have to give:
a day we never would have sought
and yet we have to live.
If it should be our destiny
to live in such a day,
let our faith and love be worthy of
the ones who showed the way.
The ones we now call heroes
The ones we say their memory will not die -
they were no different in their day
than you or I.
They were no different in their day.
than you or I.
The fears they faced,
the faith they found,
their common cause and common ground.
We carry with us, come what may,
as we now face
our destiny, our day.
