Whatever Comes Next

Father, your world's on fire and Every day I wake up tired and Afraid of what's required of me But your daughter filled my cup, said, "Look at me and listen up," said, "A toast to all we've yet to see" To whatever comes next, whatever comes next Let's raise another glass to whatever comes next So this world's the one I inherit It takes the best of me just to bear it While the rest of me wants to tear it down I've got no choice in the matter But to let illusions shatter And scatter like seeds on the ground For whatever comes next, whatever comes next Let's raise another glass to whatever comes next And I won't regret what I cannot know yet I'm gonna stick around for Whatever comes next Whatever comes Whatever comes next Father, your world's on fire Father, your world's on fire And look at how it shines Father, your world's on fire Father, your world's on fire I have often wondered A sister grieves for her brother She can't conceive of another ending For all that hope she carried Only to see it buried Then, through her tears, she hears, "Mary" So what comes next? So what comes next? So what comes next? (There will be surprises) So what comes next? (There will be) (Where are you hidden?) So what comes?
