Genesis - Fireside Song lyrics

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth It came to pa** that beauty settled there forever more And as the steam clings close to things to come It came to pa** that solid rock did part for humble life Once upon a time there was confusion Disappointment, fear and disillusion Now there's hope reborn with every morning See the future clearly at its dawning Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness Whilst water slips into the sea The father's sad to see it's free As shadows creep towards their master night It came to pa** that trees defied the wind who shook their leaves And as the peace descended all around It came to pa** that nature's creatures came to face the world Once upon a time there was confusion Disappointment, fear and disillusion Now there's hope reborn with every morning See the future clearly at its dawning Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness Whilst water slips into the sea The father's sad to see it's free Once upon a time there was confusion Disappointment, fear and disillusion Now there's hope reborn with every morning See the future clearly at its dawning Once upon a time there was confusion Disappointment, fear and disillusion
