Things To Come - Dizzy Gillespie

Hey I'm kinda glad you didn't pick up I kinda just called to hear your voice, so Your voice recording was enough I've been thinking about you and I miss you I hope and I wish that you're doing okay I want us to go back to the old days Because I miss you And I just thought of you, so I thought I'd call you To tell you that you crossed my mind and I took that as a sign that I should call and say hi So that's all Hi But the idea of you listening to this The thought of you on the other side of the line I can't hang up I don't want this to end

I hate to say I'm beginning to see My own reflection in my adversaries I hate to ask But I just need to know Is your finger on the trigger Or can you let go? What's the price of a soul? What's its worth versus gold? I tried to beg for mine But it was already sold Does nobody think twice? What does your hell look like? Does everyone have their price? Where they finally break I hate to say I think it's a sign of things to come Breaking us down one by one I want to say That maybe I'm wrong And when you think it's stopped It begins I hate to say I'm not willing to change But all I hear is I'm to blame Well what a fucking shame What sustains the meek? What keeps you from the peak? We're all apostasies With no souls to speak What does your world look like? Waiting for conflict to strike Do we all have our price? Where we finally break? I hate to say I think it's a sign of things to come Breaking us down one by one I want to say That maybe I'm wrong But maybe I'm not Stoke the fire if it's dwindling Hate keeps those coals burning Are you looking down? Or looked down on? Are you trodden down? Or sat on the throne? I hate to say I think it's a sign of things to come Breaking us down one by one I want to say That maybe I'm wrong But maybe I'm not Come on

There's a new sun Risin' up angry in the sky And there's a new voice Sayin' "we're not afraid to die" Let the old world make believe It's blind and deaf and dumb But nothing can change the shape of things to come There are changes Lyin' ahead in every road And there are new thoughts Ready and waiting to explode When tomorrow is today The bells may toll for some But nothing can change the shape of things to come The future's comin' in, now Sweet and strong Ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long There are new dreams Crowdin' out old realities There's revolution Sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze Let the old world make believe It's blind and deaf and dumb (But) nothing can change the shape of things (4X) To come
