about

Sometimes at Last Doesn’t Happen at First
- Are we at the brink of societies collapse? The signs are many.

lyrics

Sometimes at last doesn't happen at first

Sometimes at last doesn't happen at first
It all came together then everything burst
I felt so blessed, but now I am cursed
Sometimes at last doesn't happen at first


I met a man, he was old at 22
The laziest man to sit between two shoes
He said: "no one ever wins, one side's just slower to lose"
Without even trying he had misspent his youth


I met a woman, saying: "why not me,
just want to get ahead, is there a place for me?
Is the hour upon us in our democracy
The haters will hate, and the lovers... will they just let it be?"


I went out into the world and I heard the despair
Millions of people, no one was really there
I asked what has become of peace and love and care
And everyone pointed out the other one and said:
"Never while you are here"


But I travelled the land and I saw its rebirth
By the sun and the rain and the sky and the earth
By a frown of the will and sweat on the shirt
By an unnoticed, uncelebrated heart in the dirt


Sometimes at last doesn't happen at first
The cages are rattling, some of them may burst
But we can be blessed though now we are cursed
Sometimes at last doesn't happen at first
