ONLY JUST BEGUN
ONLY JUST BEGUN
Words no one could hear
Those words told the future
And now, now that the sounds have passed
You open your door and see for the first time
A monument of steel and glass
Darkened windows you drive past
And you think that you're dying
But you're being reborn
And you think the world is ending
But it's only just begun
On a windy plateau you survey the wreckage
Bits of dreams turned to dust
Though it breaks your heart you've got to move on
The old must make way for the new
The broken forms of steel and glass
Shattered windows that you pass
And you think the world has ended
But it's only just begun
And you think that you're dying
But you're being reborn
Cathedrals to the human spirit
Not every sentence is a masterpiece
Through the skylights they go
On the highways they grow
Ancient towers that you drive past
Windswept streets that you fly down
The abandoned cities that you see on the map
Rusting cars on the side of the street
Overgrown highway system fades away again
Spiderwebbing roads and walls and signs of what was there
Trees are growing back and through the skylight they will go
Not every sentence is a masterpiece but I'm figuring it out
And you think the world has ended
But it's only just begun
And you think that you're dying
But you're being reborn
And you think there's no hope now
But the good will come through
