Genesis "Fireside Song" lyrics

Fireside Song

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earthIt came to pass that beauty settled there forever moreAnd as the steam clings close to things to comeIt came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life

Once upon a time there was confusionDisappointment, fear and disillusionNow there's hope reborn with every morningSee the future clearly at its dawningForever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptinessWhilst water slips into the seaThe father's sad to see it's free

As shadows creep towards their master nightIt came to pass that trees defied the wind who shook their leavesAnd as the peace descended all aroundIt came to pass that nature's creatures came to face the world

Once upon a time there was confusionDisappointment, fear and disillusionNow there's hope reborn with every morningSee the future clearly at its dawningForever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptinessWhilst water slips into the seaThe father's sad to see it's free

Once upon a time there was confusionDisappointment, fear and disillusionNow there's hope reborn with every morningSee the future clearly at its dawning

Once upon a time there was confusionDisappointment, fear and disillusion
