"When Tomorrow Comes 11:12" lyrics

What will happen to the cities
When the wheels no longer turn?
What will happen without purpose or the people
When the fire no longer burns?

Who will be singing when the rain starts to pour
And the doors of your church, they don't open up anymore?
What will happen when tomorrow comes?

When the beggars dance in your streets
Will you join them and take those shiny shoes off your feet?
Who will be there to listen to the words that they share
When our ears are closed and our eyes can only see what they wear?

Who will be speaking when the lands start to flood
And the waves that come crashing in are filled with your blood?
What will happen when tomorrow comes?

When the painters and poets are writing the rules
[?] their truth
Oh, when we see the dealers, deceivers, the down-and-out and the dreamers
Who all have their parts to play in this tangled web we have weaved
Well, now what's gonna happen if there's no Heaven or Hell?
Will we be able to finally tell
What will happen when tomorrow comes?
What will happen when tomorrow comes?

So I dedicate this to all, all the living
The dark before the dawn
If you have a little faith
Wherever you're coming from
Know there's hope when tomorrow comes
I'll give you something you can take
Until the morning light
A six-string serenade to keep you safe tonight
The day has just begun
And I'll see you when tomorrow comes
I'll see you when tomorrow comes
