This Will Be the Day
Jeff Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They see you as small and helpless
They see you as just a child
Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild
Prepare for your greatest moments
Prepare for your finest hour
The dream that you've always dreamed is
Suddenly about to flower
We are lightning
Straying from the thunder
Miracles of ancient wonder

This will be the day we've waited for
This will be the day we open up the door
I don't wanna hear your absolution
Hope you're ready for a revolution
Welcome to a world of new solutions
Welcome to a world of bloody evolution
In time-your heart will open minds
A story will be told
And victory is in a simple soul

Your world needs a great defender
Your world's in the way of harm
You want a romantic life a fairytale that's full of charm

Beware that the light is fading
Beware as the dark returns
This world's unforgiving
Even brilliant lights will cease to burn

Legends scatter
Day and night will sever
Hope and peace are lost forever

(This will be the day we waited for)
(We are lightning)
(Welcome to a world of new solutions)

This will be the day we've waited for
This will be the day we open up the door
I don't wanna hear your absolution
Hope you're ready for a revolution
Welcome to a world of new solutions
Welcome to a world of bloody evolution
In time your heart will open minds




A story will be told
And victory is in a simple soul

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of Jeff Williams ft. Casey Williams’ song “This Will Be The Day” describe how the singer is perceived by others - “small and helpless” and “just a child”. However, the lyrics suggest that the singer is capable of more than what others may believe - “a warrior will soon run wild”. The subsequent lyrics urge the singer to prepare for their “finest hour” and for the dream they have always had to come to fruition.


The chorus of the song seems to describe a moment of uprising or revolution - “this will be the day we open up the door” and “hope you're ready for a revolution”. The lyrics suggest that the world is in need of a defender, and that the light and hope is fading away. The singer’s victory is described as being linked to a “simple soul”.


Overall, the song seems to be about empowerment, fighting for what you believe in, and refusing to be underestimated. The lyrics come across as inspiring and evoke a sense of motivation within the listener.
