The Shape of Things to Come

I heard a clock strike 13 times,
Then all was calm –
The spirit of the century,
Was going, going, gone.
They heard it toll in Val d’Isère,
They raised a toast in Harvard Square.
To all restless souls who stand as one:
To face the shape of things to come.

I believe we’re heading for a better day.
I believe we’re heading for a better day.
I believe we’re heading for a better day.

Face the shape of things to come.
The shape you can’t outrun.
You’ve been waiting all your Life –
To cast aside this soul charade:
And feel until the feeling leaves you numb.
The shape of things to come.

The shape of things to come.

I’ve lived an island to myself,
But now I see.
The person I’ve been hiding from,
Was never really me.
And I will own this world tonight;
Shine down from an awesome height,
Where all limits melt away to none:
The shape of things to come.

I believe we’re heading for a better day.
I believe we’re heading for a better way.

With our Trust,
With our Love,
We make the All
Resolve to One.
With our Faith,
With our Pride,
We’ll walk a line
Ten billion people wide.

Face the shape of things to come.
The shape you can’t outrun.
You’ve been waiting all your Life –
To cast aside this soul charade:
And feel until the feeling leaves you numb.
The shape of things to come.

The shape of things to come.
Everyone is One (repeat and fade).
