Years Ahead Lyrics

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
