when i was ten years old
i remember thinking how cool it would be
when we were goin’ on an eight hour drive
if i could just watch tv
and i’d have given anything
to have my own pacman game at home
i used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
now i’ve got it on my phone
heeey
glory glory hallelujah
welcome to the future
my grandpa was in world war ii
he fought against the japanese
he wrote a hundred letters to my grandma
mailed ’em from his base in the philippines
i wish they could see this now
the world they say has changed you know
’cause i was on a video chat this morning
with a company in tokyo
heeey
everyday’s a revolution
welcome to the future
heeey
look around it’s all so clear
heeey
wherever we were going well we’re here
heeey
so many things i never thought i’d see
happening right in front of me
i had a friend in school
runningback on a football team
they burned a cross in his front yard
for asking out the homecoming queen
i thought about him today
and everybody who’s seen what he’s seen
from a woman on a bus
to a man with a dream
heeey
wake up martin luther
welcome to the future
heeey
glory glory hallelujah
welcome to the future
