Seeing Visions of the Future

I only see what’s in front of me,
                     And only time will tell what my
                     Eyes will see. But if I’m blinded
                     By the luminous light of the future
                     My sight will no longer be. so I
                     Constantly set my watch back,
                     Because I’ve found that’s the key.
                     It is the key to the present,the
                     present that keeps giving,it
                     Gives so I can keep living,I live
                     So I can keep getting, getting
                     Visions of the future. The future 
                     That I will never see again,
                     Because my life doesn’t start
                      Until the end.
