Things That Will Never Happen Lyrics

Hush comes over the hall

White envelope in Prince's hand

The Artist addresses them all

Whispers your name into the microphone

Stumble in shock to the bandstand

With no embrace he hands you the statue

The look on his face saying

You and I both know

Nothing you've done can't be traced back to me

You nod as if you understand

In this moment arrogant you ain't

Your hero stands there smirking

As you attempt to catch your breath but faint

Leaders at 7 o'clock

Over dinner an open discussion

Addressing the woes of the earth

And how to put most of the people here to work

Because when someone is working

They slowly begin to grasp the concept

Work is the best-kept secret of the world

Agreements are made with champagne and handshakes

Oceans are turned into water to drink

Deserts are turned into infinite farmland

Nobody ever goes hungry again

The countries all live in true symbiosis

In a band with some friends

Everyone's right on the same page

The positive vibe never ends

Even the drummer makes contributions

Rumble and rock 'round the bandstand

This all erases past disappointment

Working in groups riddled with ego

Who could not overcome all their insecure urges

You're in the ultimate band

You bring in your songs and they're truly excited

To play and arrange and record them with love

You're the big genius and everyone knows this

Everyone knows this

Everyone knows this

There's a knock at the door

White envelope in the courier's hand

A letter addresses the core

You read it out loud to yourself standing alone

Tumble in shock what it's saying

"Man I was wrong and I really miss you.

Don't know if you can ever forgive me but

Take this as my sincerest apology."

You nod as if you understand

In this moment hell arrogant you ain't

So many years of waiting

Craving some kind of reconciliation

Reconciliation

Reconciliation

Reconciliation
