It's certain as the sunrise
Fickle as the wind
The moment we're all waiting for
That never comes again...
It's volatile as a terrorist
Complex as a gene
It's magical, it's digital
Somewhere no-one's ever been
It's a rock'n'roller coaster
Unpredictable and wild
But the one thing that I'm sure of is
The future is a child
We can listen to the future
We can look it in the eyes
Give it knowledge, feed it truth
We can make the future wise
If we really want to do it
We can even make it smile
The future's looking up at us
And the future is a child
Bridge:
There's a destiny calling
There's a star in the sky
There's a song we must learn
That started with a baby's cry
It's hopeful but it's hungry
In debt before it's born
Living on our refuse
It's growing up alone
Desperate for destiny -
A dream that's undefiled
The future's ready to be loved
And the future is a child
It's younger than its problems
Older than its years
It's gambling with extinction
Running from its fears
It's an angel and a vagabond
Not always what it seems
It's angry but it's fragile
Addicted to extremes
Let's reach out to each other
Let's be reconciled
The future's ready to be born
And the future is a child
