Searching for a place
In the universe
As the news from earth
Goes from bad to worse
Looking for the way
To a promised land
Seeing many signs
We really don’t understand
The history of our lives
Tells a tale
They say that we learn the best
When we fail
The present’s just begun
And now it’s done
I’m living for the future
The race is never won
But now it’s run
I’m living for the future
We haven’t found our place
In the universe
Everything around
Is getting worse and yet worse
The history of our lives
Tells a tale
They say that we learn the best
When we fail
The present’s just begun
And now it’s done
I’m living for the future
The race is never won
But now it’s run
I’m living for the future
It’s plain to see
Undoubtedly
That I’m the last
To praise the past
Which anyway
Has had its day
And disappeared
As we had feared
I’m finding my way through
And when I do
I’m living for the future
I simply can’t pretend
That it’s the end
I’m living for the future
It’s plain to see
Undoubtedly
That I’m the last
To praise the past
Which anyway
Has had its day
And disappeared
As we had feared
The present’s just begun
And now it’s done
I’m living for the future
The race is never won
But now it’s run
I’m living for the future
It’s written in the sky
The stars don’t lie
I’m living for the future
The present’s just begun
And now it’s done
I’m living for the future.
