foreshadowing

maybe i'll just whisper

neither humble

neither proud

listen if you care to

but i will not sing too loud

no

not tonight

just before i'm over and out

i want to sing of better times

i want to sing of hope

but you've heard those empty promises

they sound like such a joke

so i stumble

so hard to say

so difficult

sometimes i am not able

to separate my dreams from forced cliche

but more and more i hear it

i feel the spirit rise

the people here are talking 'bout

the oneness of all life

maybe i will turn away

maybe you will run

but it just may be a foreshadowing of what's to come

so anything can happen

i don't believe in fate

i won't try to convince you

'cause it's getting kind of late

but there it is

just before i'm over and out

my parting shot

is just to say you hold the reins

but more and more i hear it

i feel the spirit rise

the people here are talking 'bout

the oneness of all life

maybe i will turn away

maybe you will run

but it just may be a foreshadowing of what's to come

and if you struggle to realize

this earthly paradise is just so far

above us to put away the poisonous ideas

you know it's just ideas

we're the only enemies around here

i see your eyes are closing

i didn't mean to keep you up

there's more that i can say now

but i guess i've said enough

so sleep well

just before i'm over and out

yeah

sleep well

just before i'm over and out

but more and more i hear it

i feel the spirit rise

the people here are talking 'bout

the oneness of all life

maybe i will turn away

maybe you will run

but it just may be a foreshadowing of what's to come
