Years Ahead

I've seen trouble I've seen hurricanes and fires I've known loss, I've known lust, I've known desires But never have I known destruction quite like you Up ahead is something new The river never flows up to the mountain peak A lion's pride won't let him bow before the weak But nature's never seen a force like this before The mountain crumbles to the shore And all at once I see a trillion years ahead And everything that lays behind us We're somewhere in between the middle and the end And everything that once defined us Means nothing now And on the seas I've seen a ship as it was sailing They were changing every plank along the way It arrived as a completely different thing Fully changed, and yet the same What doesn't kill a man won't always make him stronger What brings him to his knees won't always bring him death I give my strength to you, I give my dying breath Don't make me wait a moment longer Cause all at once I see a trillion years ahead And everything that lays behind us We're somewhere in between the middle and the end And everything that once defined us Means nothing now For all the plans we laid Commitments we betrayed We're often praying for redemption But then you meet some kindred heart Your plans are ripped apart What was regret's no longer worth the mention Cause all at once I see the world I want to see After all this time in limbo All at once I've got my perfect clarity The stain's no longer on the window All at once I see a trillion years ahead And everything that lays behind us We're somewhere in between the middle and the end And everything that once defined us Means nothing now
