Children Of The Future

If you're reading this

Then it means we failed

But all hope's not lost

It is not, it is not

If these words ring true

My mulatto brew

It has been foretold

It is yours, it is yours

 

Yes

(The) children of the future

Yes

(The) children of...

They're the next phase

They're the next stage

They're the next great

They're the next wave

Time is on their side

 

This is how it grows

It will ebb and flow

So don't lose your knack

Or your heart, or your heart

They will silence you

Try to punish you

You will find the way

In the stars, in the stars

 

Yes

(The) children of the future

Yes

(The) children of...

They're the next phase

They're the next stage

They're the next great

They're the next wave

Time is on their side

 

Be all that you can be

Be all we never were

Succeed where we failed

And make them eat it

 

If you're reading this

Then it means we failed

But all hope's not lost

We will not

Be the last

We will not
