the shape of things to come

lyrics by jamal

I was wondering
If I’d been born a twin
And there’s another being
Who thinks and looks and acts like me

And what if I’d been him
Would my life have been the same
Or would everybody change
And I’d be the one that stayed the same

Things come and go
Always unknown
As the words penned in stone
Have shown to take the shape of things to come

What if every eve
You’d join to share some tea
But on the count of one, two, three
You’d collect your things and change settings

Answer this for me
What does all this really mean
And maybe one more thing
Why’s a raven like a writing desk (guess)

Things come and go
Always unknown
As the words penned in stone
Have shown to take the shape of things to come

(child’s laughter)

Shape of things
Shape of things to come
What if I’d been born…
