And So It Shall Be
by MisterNelson

Verse
I can feel the warmth from a firefly; hear its sweet song on the wind.
Fortunate to find, the love of my life, then the world chimed in.
They cursed our union as doomed from the start, but we held on as tight as we could.
But I was the first to lose my grip, when I never thought I would.
And I fear I've lost you for good.

Chorus
So, I blast through the forest as swift as I can, in search of the wizard with the healing hand.
He said, catch your breath then follow this plan, as he points to a message etched in the sand.
Well, I must run through the meadow and down to the sea then blindly go, where the current takes me.
Redemption's cost is steep indeed.  So it is written and so it shall be.

Verse
Our prayers have all been answered, the dream is about to begin.
Side by side for the rest of our lives, then the world chimed in.
Hurling slings and arrows and the vilest critiques, they could.
But I was the first to lose my grip, when I never thought I would.
And I fear I've lost you for good.

Chorus
So, I blast through the forest as swift as I can, in search of the wizard with the healing hand.
He said, catch your breath then follow this plan, as he points to a message etched in the sand.
Well, I must run through the meadow and down to the sea then blindly go, where the current takes me.
Redemption's cost is steep indeed.  So it is written and So it shall be.

Bridge
So here I am, with my heart in my hand.
But if you'd rather not see me, I'd understand.
But please allow me this moment to move you, if I can.
With a promise to never let you go, again.

Chorus
I'll run through the meadow and down to the sea.
Then blindly go where the current takes me.
Cause my redemption's cost is steep, indeed.  
So it is written and so it shall be.

Oh man, this good Nelson.  There is something very appealing, its meloncally, very lyrical, the instrumentation is really somethig, fantstic job on all levels.  The lyrics flow so smooth and easy.  i read the lyrics first, before playing, and couln't imagine fitting all that in.  You did it man, really did it with this beauty.  My most favorite Nelson song.  Bravo.  It works on all levels for me.
