[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Lines drawn on paper, frontiers in the sand Claiming the oceans and carving the land We fought over tokens, we traded in debt Trapped in the shadows of habit and threat Whatever happens in this world is real Not the illusions or expectations we feel So open your eyes to the ground where we stand A world held in common by every hand. [Chorus] Welcome to tomorrow, where the Earth belongs to all No prices, no profits, no boundaries to fall A resource-based future, abundant and bright Where knowledge and nature unite in the light No moneyless dream, but a practical key The Venus Project set humanity free. [Verse 2] They called it naive to imagine a turn Said humans are broken, with no capacity to learn But there are no bad people, just minds left behind With insufficient knowledge to guide human kind And when they asked, "If you’re smart, why aren't you rich?" We answered back quietly, changing the pitch: "If wealth is your measure, then why aren't you wise To see how real abundance lies under our skies?" [Chorus] Welcome to tomorrow, where the Earth belongs to all No prices, no profits, no boundaries to fall A resource-based future, abundant and bright Where knowledge and nature unite in the light No moneyless dream, but a practical key The Venus Project set humanity free. [Bridge] If you think that we can't change the path that we're on It means you won't be there to welcome the dawn For the builders, the thinkers, the ones who create Will design a system that alters our fate Geodesic domes where the green forests grow Automation that lets all our talents overflow Clean energy flowing through city and sea A common heritage for you and for me. [Chorus] Welcome to tomorrow, where the Earth belongs to all No prices, no profits, no boundaries to fall A resource-based future, abundant and bright Where knowledge and nature unite in the light No moneyless dream, but a practical key The Venus Project set humanity free. [Outro] The common heritage of all humankind... Peaceful and balanced, in heart and in mind. No hunger, no borders, no poverty or greed, Just a world built to care for every living need. Beyond scare-city Into the light. [Instrumental outro] [Fade to end] [End]
