We’re the Future Lyrics by The Green Children

Encounter

[Verse 1]
It’s all been said before
But has it all been heard, has it all been heard?
The many who tell the tales
Are trying to get the truth unveiled
So what is the problem as we look at each other
No one’s taking blame
But somebody you know is gonna to pay
Somebody you know is gonna pay
[Chorus]
So don’t go sailing on a one-way stream
Where the river's falling over stolen dreams
We’re like the ripples of a sunken stone
We’re the future and we can make it our own
[Verse 2]
Can we understand
When help is in our hand, help is in our hand
For all that is going wrong
Surely too little has been done
We keep hiding our feelings as we keep on repeating
The same mistakes
With all that is hurting we look away
But the world can’t be waiting another day
[Chorus]
So don’t go sailing on a one-way stream
Where the river's falling over stolen dreams
We’re like the ripples of a sunken stone
We’re the future and we can make it our own
[Bridge]
Turnaround, turnaround, turnaround, turnaround
Turnaround, turnaround, turnaround, turnaround
Turnaround, turnaround, don’t you wait, come along
Don’t be late, don’t be long
What you waiting for (what you waiting for?)
What you waiting for? Turnaround
[Chorus]
Don’t go sailing on a one-way stream
Where the river's falling over stolen dreams
We’re like the ripples of a sunken stone
We’re the future and we can make it our own
[Chorus]
So, don’t go sailing on a one-way stream
Where the river's falling over stolen dreams
We’re like the ripples of a sunken stone
We’re the future and we can make it home
