When the last leaf of autumn falls out of the sky

SIGNS AND WONDERS
When the last starving refugee falls down on a foreign shore,
And the last lone soldier calls out, “I’m not fighting any more!”
And the last unborn baby is allowed to die,
And the last leaf of autumn falls out of the sky.
These are signs and wonders,
And I wonder what you’ll do,
When the world comes to an end,
And He comes back for you.
When the last convicted criminal finally meets his fate,
And the last Ku Klux Klanner uses up all of his hate,
And the last politician hauls out his last big lie,
And the last leaf of autumn falls out of the sky.
These are signs and wonders,
And I wonder what you’ll do,
When the world comes to an end,
And He comes back for you.
When the last dope dealer swallows his own stash,
And the last big wheelers stall over camouflaged cash,
And the last worthy person is shunned by walls too high,
And the last leaf of autumn falls out of the sky.
These are signs and wonders,
And I wonder what you’ll do,
When the world comes to an end,
And He comes back for you.
Fifty million men will march through here someday,
The skies will open wide and then the Lord will say,
“Well done, my good and faithful servants, peace be unto you.
The rest are condemned to keep doing what they do.”
These are signs and wonders,
And I wonder what you’ll do,
When the world comes to an end,
And He comes back for you.
