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
