Brace Yourself

Before I was a war I was a sword Before I was a tree I was a seed Before I was a cliff I was a canyon Before I was a feast I was a famine Before I was a day I was a dawn Before I was a prince I was a swan Before I was a corpse I was a kid Before I was a cloud I was a grid Before I was a crush I was a kiss Before I was a got I was a wish Brace yourself! Before I was a word I was a sound Before I was a sky I was a ground Before I was a stone I was a hill Before I was a wheel I was a will Before I was a birth I was a kill Before I was a wash I was a filth Brace yourself!
