Future
Some think it is bleak,
They say it will truly reek,
But I say take another look,
Sit down and read a book.
The future is bright,
As bright as a full moon at night.
You may think I am insane
But let me take a minute to explain.
The future is only
What you make it out to be.
If you are soft spoken and meek
And a place in life is what you seek,
Look not to the past
For the die is cast,
The future is the place
Where you will find solace.
If you like to dream
And want answers that seem
So far away
Day after day,
Look not to the past
For the die is cast.
Get past the glitch
And you will be rich.
The world runs on dreams
And so it seems
That without those of you
Whose intentions are so true,
Though the world tries and tries and tries,
In the end society would die.
Now you see how the future works,
How in the dark it always works.
In the sky it can soar
Or it can lie below the floor.
However you look at it,
If you’ll sit
And think it over
You will see that I am sober.
