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?
