A Billion Drums

about

The closing track on the new Fort Frances album, "Look At What Tomorrow Brought Us."

lyrics

You’ve been running circles
All around the world
So you can feel at home every time you turn around
Some days feel like centuries
Waiting for what’s meant to be
And then you finally realize what’s meant to be is exactly where you are

You’ve been thinking an awful lot
About all the truths that you forgot
By now, you assumed you’d have this all figured out
Some days feel like centuries
Nothing comes too easily
And then you finally realize some things are worth waiting for

You’ve been fighting a war between
What you can touch and you can see
Some nights our reflections don’t look like much of anything
Some days feel like centuries
You cross your fingers down on your knees
And then you finally realize good luck is already on the way

Tell me now
Can you feel it?
The days are getting lighter
Your mind is healing
By now you know
Time is a wheel
Don’t give up, don’t slow down
Don’t you dare turn around

I got high hopes for the long run
May your heart beat like a billion drums
