Of Things To Come

Screaming, laughing at your own reflection

Take one good look and tell me what you see

Is that your smiling face in the mirror?

Dying, knowing of the coming rejection

Take another look and tell me how you feel

Is that your crying face in the mirror?

Will you ever learn to look past your pain?

And see life another way

Could you ever learn to look past your pain?

And see life another way

[lead: paul]

It's hard to breathe when you're

Longing for a soul not battered or torn

A life less cold and aged

And you can't seem to quit

Though you try, but something keeps resisting

Taste defeat in each tear you cry

But your heart keeps fighting

You've never had the perfect life

You've never gotten all you've dreamed of

And you've made mistakes that you've learned from

And as you think of things to come

You realize you're not so young anymore

But still have the strength to face the future

So day by day as the years drift by

After every rain the sun must shine

Remember your past for it speaks true

And see your life from a different view

On those days when nothing's certain

Or those days when nothing's wrong

Whether to hide behind curtains

Or find strength to carry on

Learn to look past your pain

And see life another way

And think of things to come
