A boy and his dad standing at the tracks
Tears in their eyes, saying their goodbyes
"why you gotta go? i don't understand"
"i gotta fight a war, i gotta take a stand
So listen to me now, don't be looking down
You gotta stay strong, take care of your mom
I promise you, it won't be long
Before you know, i'll be coming home"
chorus:
Soon now, don't you blink
Everything will be right faster than you think
Soon now, there will be a day
You won't be waiting anymore
Hold on just a little bit longer
Even though the longing in your heart gets stronger
Soon now.. it's gonna be soon now
verse 2:
On her mama's bed, hands on her head
Talking 'bout the one that was more than a crush
How he broke her heart, how he made her cry
Their talk about forever turned out to be a lie
Mama said "baby, i've been there. i know what you're
Feeling, i know that you're scared.
I know at sixteen, it's so hard to see
But you'll make it through, and love's gonna find you
chorus:
Soon now, don't you blink
Everything will be right faster than you think
Soon now, there will be a day
You won't be waiting anymore
Hold on just a little bit longer
Even though the longing in your heart gets stronger
Soon now.. it's gonna be soon now
bridge:
All you gotta do is just look around
The walls of the world are falling down
So many people looking for a way
To find a little hope, to make it through the day
But don't lose heart in the dark dark night
There's morning waiting on the other side
When love's gonna say "devil go running"
Lift up your eyes, 'cause jesus is coming!
chorus:
Soon now, don't you blink
Everything will be right faster than you think
Soon now, there will be a day
You won't be waiting anymore
Hold on just a little bit longer
Even though the longing in your heart gets stronger
Soon now.. it's gonna be soon now
Soon now
It's gonna be soon now
Soon now
It's gonna be soon now
