Something's Coming

From the West Side Story Site

Could be!
Who knows?
There's something due any day;
I will know right away,
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballing down through the sky,
Gleam in its eye,
Bright as a rose!

Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there's a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Coming to me!

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something's coming, something good,
If I can wait!
Something's coming, I don't know what it is,
But it is
Gonna be great!

With a click, with a shock,
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock,
Open the latch!
Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon;
Catch the moon,
One-handed catch!

Around the corner,
Or whistling down the river,
Come on, deliver
To me!
Will it be? Yes, it will.
Maybe just by holding still,
It'll be there!

Come on, something, come on in, don't be shy,
Meet a guy,
Pull up a chair!
The air is humming,
And something great is coming!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Maybe tonight . . .

Call me silly, but I first fell in love with this song from a Todd Rundgren album of my brother's. Didn't even know it was a song from West Side Story. I just loved the hope filled anticipation in it. Still do.

I don't know what's in my future. I do know that God's in control, which is good. Kind of scary for a control-freak such as myself, but I am coming to the conclusion after 40+ years that I never really had control anyway. And if God is for me, who can be against me?

Feel free to hum along!
