about

This is a straightforward country love song about letting go and finding refuge in new love.

lyrics

Reckoning Day
© Jeni Hankins & Billy Kemp, 2005
________________________________

There are somethings ain’t worth rescuing
some ships you watch go down
while you stand there on the shore
holding fast to the new love you’ve found

There’ll be a love, catches you unaware
some angel will come your way
and you’ll take her into your heart
though you know there will be a reckoning day

There are somethings ain’t nothing but trouble
some prisons you build yourself
brick by brick with your misfortunes
til some angel pulls you from hell

Look out for love, halos and feathers,
your wishes, the things that you pray
‘cause your dreams, just might come true
and you know there will be a reckoning day
