He's Comin' Back - A Band Called David, Barry McGuire

Oh, won’t you listen to me brother?

I’ll tell you what I hear

The days on earth are numbered,

You know the end is gettin' very near

Well, it’s time that he was coming back

To take his own away

Don’t you want to be standing on the ready?

'Cause no man knows the day

He’s comin' back, (He's comin' back)

Yes, he’s comin' back, (He's comin' back)

Comin' back!

Though no man knows the hour

And no man knows the day

He’s comin' back, (He's comin' back)

Yeah, he’s comin' back, everybody (He's comin' back)

Ah, he’s coming to take his own away

He’s gonna take us away now, amen

Well, you can read it in your newspaper

And watch on your color TV

You know the handwriting is upon the wall

It’s up tall for all to see

Well, there’s earthquakes and famines

Violence and crime,

You know the Bible plainly tells us,

That we’re livin' in the end of time

But he’s comin' back, (He's comin' back)

Yes, he’s comin' back, (He's comin' back)

Comin' back!

Though no man knows the hour

And no man knows the day

He’s comin' back, (He's comin' back)

Yeah, he’s comin' back, he’s coming' back (He's comin' back)

That’s right

He’s coming to take his own

Gonna take us away, now

Coming back — going to take us away

So when the sun has lost its power

And the moon longer shines

All the stars are fallin' from the sky

You know we’re living in the end of time

Thank God it’s almost over

And soon we’re goin' home

We’re going to live with him forever

And sing before his throne

He’s comin' back, (He's comin' back)

Jesus comin' back, (He's comin' back)

Though no man knows the hour

And no man knows the day

He’s comin' back, (He's comin' back)

Yeah, He’s comin' back, (He's comin' back)

He’s coming back

He’s coming back to take his own

Goona take us away, now, take us away

Why, we’re living in the end of time,

We’re living in the end of time,

You’re making up your mind right now

What you’re gonna find

Why, we’re living in the end of time

Why, we’re living in the end of time

Jesus is coming back!

Jesus is coming back!

He’s coming back!

He’s coming back!

He’s coming back!

He’s coming ba-a-a-ck!
