Ghost of Christmas to Come Lyrics


[Scrooge:]

You're the third... The ghost of Christmas yet to come

Speak to me! Tell me what is to happen to me, to all of us

Very well... Then show me, spirit. Show me what I must see...

[Mr & Mrs Dilbert:]

- Look at this, what I found when I went through his belongings

It's like he never used this clock that's made of gold

- What a waste of a man, he was cruel indeed and selfish

And he died a lonely man, well so I'm told

[Scrooge:]

Who is this man, that they talk about?

The one that for them seem so cruel

Is he dead, I can't see

Tell me spirit who's the man in front of me!

[Townspeople:]

- Have you heard?

- He is dead!

- What a pity

- Who you said?

Now he's lying there alone inside his rug

- Good riddance!

Always mean to the poor, and like many times before

I got sick and tired, always hearing humbug

[Scrooge:]

Who is this man, they keep talking about?

The one that for me now seem so cruel

As it seems, this is strange

If this future tells of me then I will change

[Spirit:]

Can't you see, this could be

In a not so far reality

Have your life been worth a single dime?

All the pain, all the horror that

Remains from your existence now

Will leave a mark of sorrow for all time

[Scrooge:]

I see how the Cratchit's are mourning

Wishing he still would be there

A tiny crutch to the wall

Tell me, Spirit, can you spare his life at all?

[Spirit:]

See the grave with a name that describes a pure evil

[Scrooge:]

I beg of you, show me no more!

[Spirit:]

This will be you if when the Christmas night is through you won't change

[Scrooge:]

I will change, spirit please let me go

[Scrooge:]

Spirit please, let me go, I can't handle any more

Of this unpleasant, evil future what may come

Saw the name of the grave and I know it's the same

As the one I bare, please don't make it happen

I know now, I know it too well how

To prevent such a cruel lonely fate

The spirits have opened my eyes now

The past, the present and what future may become

Saw the tears of the family mourning

Of their son, that I know I could have saved

Take me back, take me home, give me one more chance

To change what will come

Take me home

Take me back, spirit...
