About The Song

Come the Day is the fifth studio album by Australian group the Seekers. The album was released in 1966. In North America, the album was titled Georgy Girl. The album peaked at number 10 in the Billboard albums chart and number 3 in the United Kingdom and number 7 in Australia.

Bruce Eder from AllMusic said: “It was on this album that all of The Seekers’ varied attributes… kicked in at their peak at the same time. The album opens with the title track, a Woodley original that’s one of the best folk-style recordings to come out of the British Invasion and also one of the Seekers’ greatest performances.”

Lyrics

I know that one day soon a song shall riseYou’ll hear it with the sleep still in your eyesYou’ll wake to a brand-new dayCan you hear bells ringin’, voices singin’ far away?

A time when every man will be as oneA time to reach right out and touch the sunCome the day

Freedom’s still a thought within your mindThe fleeting thing that some may never findIt may be still a million miles awayCan you hear bells ringin’, voices singin’ far away?

A time to live without doubt or fearWelcome to the happy world that will be hereCome the day

The trumpets of war will cease to blowThe sound I hope that we may never knowWe’re waiting for the dayCan you hear bells ringin’, voices singin’ far away?

Lift up your voices and sing this songLet the whole world hear it loud and strongCan you hear bells ringin’ voices singin’ far away?
