Think About The Future

Think about the future
because that's how the future's made.
Think about your childhood
and the way things are today.
Think about the sunshine
and think about the rain.
Just make a
picture in your brain.

Think about the mountains
buried underground.
Think about a silence,
then think about a crowd.
Think about a spiral
and think about a line.
Think of what you could do
if you thought you had the time.

Think about the way you thought
when you were really small.
Think about your final breath
and where it's going to fall.
Think about achievements
and think about regret
because your
life ain't over yet.

(solo)

Think about your love
and think about your fear.
Think about the living things
that are no longer here.
Think about the journey
that started with the dawn
upon the day that
life was born.

Think about the future
because that's how the future's made.
Think about tomorrow
and think about today.
Think about a swimmer
that just decides to sink.
Please do my thinking for me
because I'm to tired to think.
