Shape of Things to Come Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, it's late in the hour
And a few more grains of sand will fall
On the colorful flowers
Grown upon the dust and moss
Now I feel the worst is near
I hold them close and count their years
Pray, a ray of light appears
To shine down on us here
[Chorus]
Break down in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Verse 2]
There's a crack in the clouds
But only for a moment now
Like an eye looking out
In the blue skies finds the roads, we will go down
I wonder what they hold for us
I hold my family to my breast
I fear the worst and hope the best
Will come to see us blessed
Well, it's late in the hour
And a few more grains of sand will fall
On the colorful flowers
Grown upon the dust and moss
Now I feel the worst is near
I hold them close and count their years
Pray, a ray of light appears
To shine down on us here
[Chorus]
Break down in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Verse 2]
There's a crack in the clouds
But only for a moment now
Like an eye looking out
In the blue skies finds the roads, we will go down
I wonder what they hold for us
I hold my family to my breast
I fear the worst and hope the best
Will come to see us blessed
[Chorus]
Break down in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Bridge]
Given one more try, wonder what I'd change?
I won't deny, the thought is strange
I've done my best and I will lay no blame myself
[Chorus]
Break down in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Outro]
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Break down in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Bridge]
Given one more try, wonder what I'd change?
I won't deny, the thought is strange
I've done my best and I will lay no blame myself
[Chorus]
Break down in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Outro]
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
