Simple desires of a child in the future
I wanna live in a house with some normality – in the future
Where people share in a world not scared to strive for solidarity
Sometimes I wanna live with no electricity – a reminder
Machines stand still, a bitter pill but maybe the world will start to heal
I wanna live in a world where the technology – in the future
Takes its place in a smaller space – senses tuned to the cry of Nature
I wanna live in a world where the technology – in the future
Is made with love, used with love to make the world a paradise
Simple desires of a child in the future – Yeah
Simple desires of a child in the future – Yeah
I’m a simple kind and simple times
Satisfy my simple mind
In a world gone blind we’ve gotta find
What’s happening to soul
Simple desires of a child in the future
I wanna live in a land with wise mentality – in the future
Hands reach out, smiles abound talking waves of a warmer sound
Wanna live in a world with right priorities – in the future
Things get done, for all as one – proof’s out there that it can be done
I wanna see beyond my own mortality – in the future
Sowing seeds for air to breathe, crossing new horizons
Wanna see beyond my own mortality – in the future
Death will come to everyone but how we lived is the final question
Simple desires of a child in the future – Yeah
Simple desires of a child in the future – Yeah
I’m a simple kind and simple times
Satisfy my simple mind
In a world gone blind we’ve gotta find
What’s happening to soul
I’m a simple kind and simple times
Satisfy my simple mind – Yeah – Yeah
I’m a simple kind and simple times
Satisfy my simple mind rpt.
ABOUT CHILD IN THE FUTURE
Children are the future and need to be given hope. I am often reminded of this when I look at my guitar pupils or nieces. It’s never too late!
