Analysis of Future
"The way it is, is not the way it has to
There can always be a change, but it starts within us
To change the world, I must keep going.
To light the future I can't stop moving
Step by step my goal becomes more clear
A vision in one's mind, resting at some special chosen spot.
This Vision i see is it a dream, a hallucination, a mirage?
Spinning on one toe so close to the floor
So close to the floor yet so far away
Never beg or need because you had this plan
Asked for forgiveness and they turned away next time don't dare get the guts, the nerve, to say..
Old friend of mine where could you be?
If time stopped, where would we be?
Dammed if I'm not passing the test"
