A Hundred Years From Now

Will the world still be spinning, Will the sun still be out
Will the waves still keep crashing, And laughter all about

Will the sky still be moving, Will the moon still be bright
Will the children still be praying, On and through the night

Will the cars still be running, Will the snow still come down
Will the movies still be showing, Will all leaves be shriveled and brown

Will the world still be spinning, Will the actor still bow
Will my heart still be beating, A hundred years from now?
