Life brings on unexpected changes
But we must carry on despite it
Are we gonna try?
Are we gonna make it?
Why is love so very hard?
Why is peace so very far?
I can't make it
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye
We can't control all our situations
And we can't console the underprivileged nations
So why don't we try
To make more smiling faces?
We're so full of disregard
We feel pain within our hearts
I can't take it
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye
So I'm calling out
Out to all the races
We can't gain control
Without communication
And we need to learn for future generations
There is future in our stars
There is beauty that is ours
We're gon' make it
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye
