Well, it's late in the hour
And a few more grains of sand will fall
On the colorful flowers
Have grown upon the dust and mossNow I fear the worst is near
I hold them close and count their years
Pray, a ray of light appears
To shine down on us hereBreak down in the shape of things to come
But I'm movin' 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 comeThere'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 downI 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 blessedBreak down in the shape of things to come
But I'm movin' 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 comeGiven 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 myselfBreak down in the shape of things to come
But I'm movin' 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 comeThe shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
