I've seen the future, but I can't go there It flows with milk and honey and our children's swear They'll never have to work, they'll never have to 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 I heard about the future from my neighbor John He told me from the safety of this 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 praying and live love out I gotta keep on praying and live love out
