This Could Be the Day

This could be the day I've waited for all my life
 And it's coming true
 This could be the day I've waited for all my life
 And it looks like you
 Bells of fire hissing through
 The dark and tropical night
 Thrown by Nubian slaves
 This could be the night I've waited for all my frum-
 -py little life
 This could be the night I cut a malignant growth
 With a steel knife
 Tongues of fire hissing through
 The dark and tropical night
 Thrown by Nubian slaves
 This could be the train I've waited for all my life
 Coming 'round the bend
 This could be the chain that fettered me all my life
 Coming to an end
 I always bowed and curtsied
 I held the candle high
 And I blessed your valuable feet
 As they went by
 Tongues of fire hissing through
 The dark and tropical night
 Thrown by Nubian slaves
