A Day In The Life Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

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)
