We look forward to the day when there will be peace once more in this troubled land.

We look forward to the day when there will be peace once more in this troubled land.

I found this on the Macmillan website and it is exemplifying once more. I wonder whether the future tense after when is correct. What if I said We look forward to the day there is peace once more in this troubled land?

To me the original is fine, but yours is equally good.

I think the first might show a bit more certainty about peace arising from what is happening currently.
