about

Whilst a much longer edit of this song had been a bonus track on 1999 CD releases of In Another Land, it was probably recorded during the Something New Under The Son sessions.

lyrics

Ya da da da da

Da da da ba da
Da da da ba da

Tears will turn to laughter
Sorrow turn to joy
Forever after
All you girls and boys
Join the choir triumphant
Lift your hands up high
Start the celebration
In that sweet by and by
We shall be together
And forever we shall stay
On that joyful delta day

Demons they will tremble
Darkness will recede
Satan will be trampled
Captives will be freed
Kingdoms will be broken
Stongholds be brought down
Armies disassembled
Rulers lose their crown
Tyrants will be toppled
Despots be dismayed
On that glorious delta day

Children gather round him
Like flowers in a field
They lift their faces up
????
The beasts shall be unburdened
The birds go unrestrained
The oceans be renourished
By creation's sweet refrain
The earth shall be restored
New music shall be played
On that beautiful delta day
Yeah

Our future will be written
The past will be erased
My memories the altar ??????
The end of all disgrace
The troubles that we've had in life
Shall finally be removed
The childhood pain shall pass away
The works of Satan too
The sweet sources of sorrow
The works of love displayed
On that final glorious delta day
