Surprise
Ruts d.c Lyrics

The song "Surprise" by Ruts d.c talks about the anticipation of the second coming of Jesus Christ. The lyrics paint a picture of the end times as prophesied in the book of Revelation. The opening lines "Look! The clouds, bright the light the sky is torn" refer to the Bible verse in Matthew 24:30 which says, "Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." The "coming down, every mouth will say Lord" in the following line implies the recognition of Christ's arrival and the realization that the end is near.

The second verse talks about the impact of Christ's return on the world. "Walks among, crowds meet, silence speaks, nations cease, war to peace" describes a world where everyone is aware of Christ's presence and how that brings about peace and puts an end to all wars. The chorus "Someday, surprise surprise someday" reiterates the fact that no one knows the exact time of the second coming, but it is sure to happen at some point.

The final verse talks about the transformation that will take place during the end times. "Deserts green, nature breathes, lion like sheep, arrives like a thief" allude to the Bible verses in Isaiah 11:6-9 where it is prophesied that a time will come when the lion shall lie down with the lamb and there will be no more destruction, but rather an abundance of new life. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "Oh Lord, someday. Surprise surprise someday."
