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

He's Comin' Back

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!
