about

The whole story behind this song is that it is sung from the point of view of an Aussie soldier who is fighting for his country in Iraq/Afghanistan and cant wait for the day he gets to come home and be with his family again.

From a lyrical point of view, we really wanted to paint a picture of a day in the life of a soldier and talk about the kinds of things he sees, hears and feels whilst fighting in a war zone. Most importantly, we bring reference to how much he longs to be at home with his family again, hence the chorus-"Will it be tomorrow, when love sees the day, will it be tomorrow, when freedom finds a way"

lyrics

He woke up this morning with a tear in his eye 
He’s on the frontline of the soul’s demise 
Signed a contract to be a freedom fighter 
A million miles away from home

  Sleeping with a gun and not his lover
 She sits at home waiting for his call
 They talk about the day that they met 
Shells fire in the background 
Just another day of the same old sounds

  Will it be tomorrow 
When love rules the day 
Will it be tomorrow 
When freedom finds a way
 Will it be tomorrow

  Like desert sand stretches on and on
 Still no solution to the stone age song 
Staring at a face he’s never seen
 Just another part of the war machine

  Show us the way to stop this bloody war
 Too many times we’ve seen it all before
 Devils use angels all over the board
 Tell me why he cant see
 Mr. President when will it be  

Will it be tomorrow 
When love rules the day
 Will it be tomorrow
 When freedom finds a way 
Will it be tomorrow  

No more war we’re going home 
No more war we’re going home 
No more war we’re going home 
No more war we’re going home
