Another day, another song

One of the songs i have been listening to a lot in the past couple of weeks is There Will Come a Day, and not by the original artist, Faith Hill, rather by one of American Idol contestants from last season, Melinda Doolittle. The song it self is amazing and i love the lyrics, not so much because of the religious overtones, rather because it touches upon the harsh realities that are often hidden in entertainment:
"Wars are raging, lives are scattered
Innocence is lost, and hopes are shattered
The old are forgotten, the children are forsaken
In this world we're living in
Is there anything sacred?"
But then the song goes into the theme of hope that:
"There will come a day, there will come a day
The song will ring out, down those golden streets
The voices of earth with the angels will sing"
and
"There's a better place, where our Father waits
And every tear He'll wipe away
The darkness will be gone,the weak shall be strong
Hold on to your faith"

The song really speaks to me. Maybe because the idea that a day wll come where the wrong will be righted is so irresistible.. of course i am not sure if i believe it, but it is something that you like to lie to yourself about.
This is the Faith Hill version btw. When i heard it after Melinda's version, all i could think is how much that song deserves a stronger voice and how Melinda's version was more emotional.
