Lyrics
So Soon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It took a long time to get here
Through evolution and revolution,
A long time to make me what I am.
Now I'm just beginning to know what is and why it's so,
I'm just beginning to learn the planet's tune.
I've hardly said Hello,
Now I'm told it's time to go,
So soon, so soon.
If I don't like what I find here
I need a minute to make it over,
For those who follow after what I am.
I'm just beginning to know what is and isn't so,
And find myself a shovel and a spoon,
To make things move and grow,
Now I'm told it's time to go,
So soon, so soon.
It took a long time to get here
Through evolution and revolution,
A long time to make me what I am.
It's a shame I should be wasted on some way out little show
Like riding up to heaven on a broom.
So I'll make this fire glow
Before it's time to go,
So soon, so soon.
