These Are The Days
Lyrics:
[English]
People out there, people out there
Let go of your cares
Turn your cries into loud hallelujahs
This is what we came for, oh-oh-oh
Leave all your worries behind
We know the future's burnin' bright
This is the great jubilation
This is what He came for, what He came for
Oh, these are the days, these are the days
These are the days we've been dreamin' of
So, don't look away, 'cause these are the days
These are the days, better get'em while they come
We thought we'd never see the sun through the dark skies
But all the signs are sayin' it's lookin' up
These are the days, these are the days
These are the days, we've been dreamin' of, oh-oh-oh
Open your eyes, open your ears
I'm tellin' you why
You'll see Heaven inhabit our praises
This is what we came for, oh-oh-oh
Singing a song of paradise
Believin' the good news is alive
This is the great jubilation
This is what we came for, what He came for
Oh, these are the days, these are the days
These are the days we've been dreamin' of
So, don't look away, 'cause these are the days
These are the days; better get'em while they come
We thought we'd never see the sun through the dark skies
But all the signs are sayin' it's lookin' up
These are the days, these are the days
These are the days, we've been dreamin' of, oh-oh-oh
If it's not good, then it's not over
If it's not good, then it's not over
If it's not good, then it's not over
If it's not good, then it's not over
These are the days, these are the days
These are the days we've been dreamin' of
So, don't look away, 'cause these are the days
These are the days; better get'em while they come
We thought we'd never see the sun through the dark skies
But all the signs are sayin' it's lookin' up
These are the days, these are the days
These are the days we've been dreamin' of, oh-oh-oh
