Shape of Things to Come
Embrace Tomorrow: Unveiling the Prophetic Essence in George Benson's Anthem
Lyrics
There's a new sun
There is a new beginning or era represented by a rising sun.
Risin' up angry in the sky
The new era is marked by a sense of anger or rebellion.
And there's a new voice
A new voice emerges, expressing a lack of fear towards death.
Sayin' we're not afraid to die
Asserting courage and resistance against adversity.
Let the old world make believe
Rejecting the illusions of the old world that ignores reality.
It's blind and deaf and dumb
Criticizing a world that is oblivious, unresponsive, and silent.
But nothing can change the shape of things to come
Despite efforts, the fundamental course of events remains unchanged.
There are changes
Anticipating upcoming transformations or shifts.
Lyin' ahead in every road
Changes are present in every path or choice.
And there are new thoughts
New ideas are prepared and eager to emerge dramatically.
Ready and waiting to explode
Exploring the potential explosive impact of these thoughts.
When tomorrow is today
Blurring the lines between present and future.
The bells may toll for some
Indicating a tolling bell, possibly signifying impending change or consequences.
But nothing can change the shape of things to come
Despite potential consequences, the course of events remains unaltered.
The future's comin' in, now
The future is arriving, promising and forceful.
Sweet and strong
Nothing can restrain or delay this force.
Ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long
Confidently expressing the unstoppable nature of the future.
There are new dreams
New aspirations are overshadowing and replacing old realities.
Crowdin' out old realities
An impending revolution is likened to a refreshing breeze.
There's revolution
Rejecting the illusions of the old world once again.
Sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze
Emphasizing the deafness, blindness, and dumbness of the old world.
Let the old world make believe
Reiterating that the essential trajectory of events is unchangeable.
It's blind and deaf and dumb
Reinforcing the resistance to change in the face of reality.
(But) nothing can change the shape of things
Despite efforts, the fundamental course of events remains unchanged.
Nothing can change the shape of things
Reiterating the unalterable nature of the future.
Nothing can change the shape of things
Stressing once again the inevitability of the future.
Nothing can change the shape of things
Emphasizing the certainty of the future course of events.
To come
Summarizing the persistence of the unchangeable future.
