the future (tell me love remains)

i've seen the future but i can't go there

it flows with milk and honey and our children swear

they'll never have to work

they'll never have a care

i've seen the future but i won't be there

i learned about the future when i was young

i learned about the world and how it's come undone

i learned about fear of strangers and guns

i learned about the future and it's no fun

tell me love remains

tell me love remains

tell me love

tell me love remains

heard about the future from my neighbor john

he told me from the safety of his perfect lawn

if they move in it won't be long

i heard about the future and it sounds all wrong

i think about the future when i see your face

i think about youth and how we're parting ways

i think about god

i think about faith

i think about the future and i hope there's grace

tell me love remains

tell me love remains

tell me love

tell me love remains

tell me love remains

tell me love remains

tell me love

tell me love remains

i prayed about the future and i understood

all this talk about time will never do much good

if i want things different

i gotta quit this doubt

i gotta keep on prayin' and live love out

i gotta keep on prayin' and live love out
