Verse 1 They said the answers lived in stars, Far away, too high, too far. But the fire we’ve been searching for Burns within who we already are. We’ve prayed for someone else to come, A savior shining like the sun. But the mirror tells the secret true — The one we’ve waited for is me and you. Chorus We are the future we’ve been waiting for, The keys to heaven at our own door. No chains can hold what was always free, The future is us, it’s you, it’s me. Verse 2 They built their temples, wrote their laws, Forgot the pulse beneath it all. But love’s not hiding, love’s not gone, It’s the melody in every song. The prophets spoke, the mystics dreamed, But the truth is simpler than it seems. The power they tried to keep apart, Was always living in the human heart. Chorus We are the future we’ve been waiting for, The keys to heaven at our own door. No chains can hold what was always free, The future is us, it’s you, it’s me. Bridge No machine, no crown, no throne Can claim the light we call our own. The kingdom rises when we stand, Together strong, hand in hand. Final Chorus (lifted with choir harmonies) We are the future we’ve been waiting for, The keys to heaven at our own door. The dawn is breaking, the night is through, The future is me, the future is you. Outro (soft, intimate) We are the future… We’ve been waiting for…
