[Verse 1]
If you're reading this, than it means we failed
But all hope's not lost, it is not, it is not
If these words ring true my mulatto brood
It has been foretold, it is yours, it is yours
[Chorus]
Yes, the children are the future, yes, the children are the future
They're the next phase, they're the next stage
They're the next grade, they're the next wave
Time is on their side
[Verse 2]
This is how it grows, it will ebb and flow
So don't lose your knack, or your heart, or your heart
They will silence you, try to punish you
You will find a way, in the stars, in the stars
[Chorus]
Yes, the children are the future, yes, the children are the future
They're the next phase, they're the next stage
They're the next grade, they're the next wave
Time is on their side
[Bridge]
Be all that you can be, be all we never were
Succeed where we failed and make them eat it
[Outro]
If you're reading this than it means we failed
But all hope's not lost, we will not be the last, we will not
