"The Future" lyrics

"The Future"

I know, I waste time, don't know what I'm doing
Past life, to explore, to show what's true
Sit down, take time, to show what needs showing
All I showed was a false door, that the dead walk through

Thoughts of ancient times
Gonna open up my head
But it's hard to walk into the future
When your shoes are made of lead

Slow down, take time, to know what's worth knowing
Walk out, the front door, and see what's new

And all this time it was in front of you
And all this time you knew it too

Thoughts of ancient times
Gonna show me where I've been
But I want to walk into the future
And see things I've never seen

Thoughts of ancient time
To remind us where we've been
But we're gonna walk into the future
And see sights we've never seen
