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 brood
It has been foretold
It is yours, it is yours
Yes, the children are the future
Yes, the children are
They're the next phase, they're the next stage
They're the next grade, 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 nerve
Or your heart, or your heart
They will silence you
Try to punish you
You will find a way
In the stars, in the stars
Yes, the children are the future
Yes, the children are
They're the next phase, they're the next stage
They're the next grade, 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
Then it means we failed
But all hope's not lost
It is not, it is not
If these words ring true
My mulatto brood
It has been foretold
It is yours, it is yours
Yes, the children are the future
Yes, the children are
They're the next phase, they're the next stage
They're the next grade, 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 nerve
Or your heart, or your heart
They will silence you
Try to punish you
You will find a way
In the stars, in the stars
Yes, the children are the future
Yes, the children are
They're the next phase, they're the next stage
They're the next grade, 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
