Lyrics
CHILDREN OF THE FUTURE ©Pat Flanakin
Words & Music by Pat Flanakin
Children of the future
I'm calling out to you
Calling from these tortured times
Where we don't know the truth
I'm trying hard to understand
But I need your point of view
I'm calling out to you
Children of the future
What is our legacy?
Did we leave you with the ruins
From all the science we released?
Or maybe we've got wiser
And we've learned to live in peace
I'm calling out to you
I'll keep calling out to you
And can you hear me
From across the universe?
Can you see me
As I'm writing down these words?
Can you feel me?
I'm trying to be heard
I'm calling out to you
Children of the future
Now my hope's your history
Tell me how so long ago
We solved this mystery
And learned to live together
On this world in unity
I'm calling out to you
I'll keep calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you.....
