Lyrics
SIGNS AND WONDERS<br />
<br />
When the last starving refugee falls down on a foreign shore,<br />
And the last lone soldier calls out, “I’m not fighting any more!”<br />
And the last unborn baby is allowed to die,<br />
And the last leaf of autumn falls out of the sky.<br />
<br />
These are signs and wonders,<br />
And I wonder what you’ll do,<br />
When the world comes to an end,<br />
And He comes back for you.<br />
<br />
When the last convicted criminal finally meets his fate,<br />
And the last Ku Klux Klanner uses up all of his hate,<br />
And the last politician hauls out his last big lie,<br />
And the last leaf of autumn falls out of the sky.<br />
<br />
These are signs and wonders,<br />
And I wonder what you’ll do,<br />
When the world comes to an end,<br />
And He comes back for you.<br />
<br />
When the last dope dealer swallows his own stash,<br />
And the last big wheelers stall over camouflaged cash,<br />
And the last worthy person is shunned by walls too high,<br />
And the last leaf of autumn falls out of the sky.<br />
<br />
These are signs and wonders,<br />
And I wonder what you’ll do,<br />
When the world comes to an end,<br />
And He comes back for you.<br />
<br />
Fifty million men will march through here someday,<br />
The skies will open wide and then the Lord will say,<br />
“Well done, my good and faithful servants, peace be unto you.<br />
The rest are condemned to keep doing what they do.”<br />
<br />
These are signs and wonders,<br />
And I wonder what you’ll do,<br />
When the world comes to an end,<br />
And He comes back for you.<br />
<br />
<br />
