Future Shocks Lyrics by Deportees

Islands & Shores

2011

[Verse 1]
Jubilation
Jubilation
Celebration
Jubilation

Where's your feet gonna land
Where's your feet gonna land
Though the wind may blow cold
Tall trees are gonna grow

[Chorus]
I would not build you a fortress
I would not build you a wall
But I would be there in a hurry
If you ever strayed too far

[Verse 2]
May you grow to be true
May you grow to be you
Celebration
All the wonders of love

All the sounds of the night
All the sounds of the night
Now your whispers are louder
Than the voices in my head

[Chorus]
I would not build you a fortress
I would not build you a wall
But I would be there in a hurry
If you ever strayed too far

[Break]
Future shocks in ways we cannot see
May you shine through all the cycles life will be
Future shocks you when you look around
May you cast long, long shadows on the ground

[Chorus]
I would not build you a fortress
I would not build you a wall
But I would be there in a hurry
If you ever strayed too far
