Beyond Today â Seventh Wonder (Capo 4 for original key)
[Verse 1]
I can hear them through the window
Singing out my name
They all laugh and sound so happy
Why so happy? I donât know
If I fail, if I donât make it
Will their song remain the same?
Or will the echoes fade to make these streets sound silent
Once again
[Pre-Chorus]
They say Iâm the one
But what if Iâm not the one who can save us
From the end of the world
Even though I must go, itâs important to know
I am scared, but I wonât let it show
What if I--if I never do what I did in my dreams
So many times
And I wonder will I ever say
Hey
[Chorus]
If you tell me yours, Iâll tell you mine
A perfect stranger in a ticket line
Just like in the movies
Will he put his hand in mine?
And will I ever dance prom night away?
And throw my hat up high on graduation day?
I think itâs safe to say the best is yet to come
Thereâs somewhere beyond today
[Verse 2]
I can hear her in the kitchen, crying out my name
And how it breaks her heart
This brand-new start will tear all she knows apart
I can hear him in the hallway, fallen to his knees
And the always strong and silent oneâs
Not silent anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
They say Iâm the one
But what if Iâm not the one who can save us
At the edge of the world
Even though I must go, itâs important to know but--
[Chorus]
If you tell me yours, Iâll tell you mine
A perfect stranger with a pick up line
Just like in the movies
Will he put his hand in mine?
And will I ever dance prom night away?
And throw my hat up high on graduation day?
I think itâs safe to say the best is yet to come
Will someone ask my dad for his daughterâs hand
To make her princess of the promised land?
Just like in the movies, will I feel those butterflies?
Will I grow up to make my mother proud
Despite my rebel years when I was way too loud
I think itâs safe to say the best is yet to come
Thereâs somewhere beyond today
Thereâs somewhere beyond today
[Violin Solo/Instrumental]
