If you're reading this
Than it means we failed
But all hope's not lost
It is not, it is not
If these words ring true
My mulatto brew
It has been foretold
It is yours, it is yoursYes the children are the future
Yes the children are
They're the next phase, they're the next stage
They're the next great, they're the next wave
Time is on their sideThis is how it grows
It will ebb and flow
So don't lose your knack
Or your heart, or your heart
They will silence you
Try to punish you
You will find your way
In the stars, in the starsYes the children are the future
Yes the children are
They're the next phase, they're the next stage
They're the next great, they're the next wave
Time is on their sideBe all that you can be
Be all we never were
Succeed where we failed
And make them eat itIf you're reading this
Than it means we failed
But all hope's not lost
We will not be the last
We will not
