When I was ten years old,
|
I remember thinkin' how cool it would be,
|
When we were goin' on an eight hour drive,
|
If I could just watch T.V.
|
|
And I'd have given anything
|
To have my own PacMan game at home.
|
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade;
|
Now I've got it on my phone.
|
|
He-e-ey...
|
Glory glory hallelujah.
|
Welcome to the future.
|
|
My grandpa was in World War II,
|
He fought against the Japanese.
|
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma;
|
Mailed em from his base in the Philippines.
|
|
I wish they could see this now,
|
Where they say this change can go.
|
Cause I was on a video chat this morning
|
With a company in Tokyo.
|
|
He-e-ey...
|
Everyday is a revolution.
|
Welcome to the future.
|
|
He-e-ey...
|
Look around it's all so clear.
|
He-e-ey...
|
Wherever we would go and well we...
|
He-e-ey...
|
So many things I never thought I'd see...
|
Happening right in front of me.
|
|
I had a friend in school,
|
Running-back on a football team,
|
They burned a cross in his front yard
|
For asking out the home-coming queen.
|
|
I thought about him today,
|
Everybody who's seen what he's seen,
|
From a woman on a bus
|
To a man with a dream.
|
|
He-e-ey...
|
Wake up Martin Luther.
|
Welcome to the future.
|
He-e-ey...
|
Glory glory hallelujah.
|
Welcome to the future.
