The Future (Tell Me Love Remains)

I've seen the future but I can’t go there
It flows with milk and honey and our children swear
They'll never have to work
They'll never have a care
I’ve seen the future but I won't be there

I learned about the future when I was young
I learned about the world and how it's come undone
I learned about fear, of strangers and guns
I learned about the future and it's no fun

Tell me love remains
Tell me love remains
Tell me love, tell me love remains

I heard about the future from my neighbour John
He told me from the safety of his perfect lawn
“If they move in, it won't be long”
I heard about the future and it sounds all wrong
‍
I think about the future when I see your face
I think about youth and how we're parting ways
I think about God, I think about faith
I think about the future and I hope there's grace

Tell me love remains
Tell me love remains
Tell me love, tell me love remains

I prayed about the future and I understood
All this talk about time will never do much good
If I want things different I gotta quit this doubt
I gotta keep on praying and live love out
I gotta keep on praying and live love out
