“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

—Eleanor Roosevelt

A song for the future we've built that takes the wide-eyed optimism of old science fiction and blends it with the hi-energy of today. It's a celebration of our past dreams coming true, a powerful reminder that our grandest visions were not lost, but transformed into the reality of catching rockets and mapping new planets.

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

—Walt Disney

"Never cease dreaming..." —Modern Bard

༘⋆₊ ⊹★🔭๋࣭ ⭑⋆｡˚

Old magazines on a dusty table.

A picture of a city in the sky.

We were kids dreaming of rocket trips.

Of cars that would lift off the ground.

Everyone would have a personal robot.

The future was supposed to be easy.

Some of that stuff came true.

But not like we thought it would.

My face on a little screen.

Information in my pocket.

We were looking for the future

With a simple plan

But the future is a different color

In this new land

The machines came, the dream didn't go.

That big beautiful tomorrow is now.

My phone has all the answers.

But it can't tell me what’s next.

The sidewalks are still concrete lines.

But the skies are not empty.

We got stuck on the ground.

With a whole new kind of sound.

Some of that stuff came true.

But not like we thought it would.

My face on a little screen.

Information in my pocket.

We were looking for the future

With a simple plan

But the future is a different color

In this new land

The machines came, the dream didn't go.

That big beautiful tomorrow is now.

Catching rockets as they fall back down.

Mapping Mars, leaving tracks for tomorrow to find.

We still talk about it.

The big hope inside all of us.

The feeling that anything is possible.

We are reaching for the Red Planet.

People are building new places to live in orbit.

The dream.

It's just getting started.

It's here.

It’s now.
