ABOUT THE FUTURE    

​

    I guess I really can't help but to worry 'bout the future

    And every summer when it's hot I worry 'bout the world

    You tell me that to worry, will never help no one

    But I guess I really can't help but to worry 'bout my son

 

    I get angry when I hear of all this mean corruption

    And I get really sad when I listen to the news

    I can't believe that some deny the climate it is changing

    But I guess I really can't help but to worry 'bout my son

 

    The future is our responsibility

    The future is for you and for me

    The future, no it won't just be okay

    The future is on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday

    Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday     (and Today)       

 

    When I look back on my life I have a few regrets

    Like why I wasn't there to teach my son the alphabet

    If I had a wish I'd make some past mistakes undone

    And I guess I really can’t help but to worry ‘bout my son

 

    I really should start to believe in the younger generations

    And trust my son to do the right thing and find his way

    I hope there's time enough before the earth kisses the sun

    But first of all, I should stop to worry 'bout my son
