Mark Heard - It Will Not Be Like This Forever lyrics

When in the course of human events The darker side takes precedence And wise men fall and fools take charge And feign a naive innocence And blood runs cold at our own expense Ane we tend to ignore our ignorance: I know it will not be like this forever OH-IT WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THIS WAY OH-THIS CURTAIN WILL BE TORN AWAY When righteousness almost prevails But loses out to what sells well And life goes on and numbness Takes the bitterness from the taste of hell Years of error leave a trail And still we walk it meaning well: I know it will not be like this forever CHORUS When our sense of true significance Is shackled by an electric fence In hearts that do not understand The nature of the elements And what we are gets left for dead In the silent shadow of the lives we've led: I know it will not be like this forever CHORUS
