The Weight of Tomorrow lyrics

Morning came as it always had The markets opened The children laughed The wind crossed the hills Nothing appeared different Yet nothing felt the same A warning once spoken Cannot return to silence It follows every step Every decision Every quiet moment Between the noise How do you build Knowing the storm will come? How do you plant Knowing another may reap? How do you stand Between hope and consequence? The future remained unseen But no longer unknown Its shadow stretched beyond the horizon Touching places No eye could reach Still the work continued Stone after stone Word after word Because some things are worth doing Even when they outlive the one who begins them The measure of a life Is not what it keeps But what it leaves behind
