The Hollies

Very Last Day

(Stokey/Yarrow)

Track 1 on album 'The Hollies' (september 1965)





Everybody's gonna pray

On the very last day

When they hear that bell

Ring the world away

Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day



Well you can sing about the great King David

And you can preach about the wisdom of Saul

But the Judgment falls on all mankind

When the trumpet sounds the call



All equal and the same

When the Lord, He calls your name

Get ready brothers for that day



Everybody's gonna pray

On the very last day

When they hear that bell

Ring the world away

Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day



Well one day soon all men will stand

His words will be heeded in all the land

Men shall know and men shall see

We all are brothers and we all are free



Mankind was made of clay

Each of us in the very same way

Get ready brothers for that day



Everybody's gonna pray

On the very last day

When they hear that bell

Ring the world away

Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day



{interlude}



Well the law is given and the law is known

The tale is told and the seed is sown

From dust we came and dust we'll go

You know the Lord once told us so



Each brother take His hand

Heed the meaning of the Lord's command

Get ready brother for that day



Everybody's gonna pray

On the very last day

When they hear that bell

Ring the world away

Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day



Judgment Day

Judgment Day

Judgment Day
