From the recording Enjoy Yourself
Lyrics
They say the future's comin' fast
But I seen it in my dreams since I was barefoot in the yard
Mama used to whisper, "Don't trust the glowing screens
Now they follow every step — call it life by machine
I still wear my father's prayers like a coat in the cold
'Cause the fire inside me ain't never been sold.
I still believe in the world to come
Where the sky ain't burned and the rivers run
I don't fear what's next — I just plant and sing
The future's a seed, and I guard that thing
The future's a seed, and I guard that thing
Truth traded for ease — and soul for a faster way
But I kept that rhythm locked deep in my chest
And when Babylon glitch, I just chant and rest
I still believe in the world to come
Where the sky ain't burned and the rivers run
I don't fear what's next — I just plant and sing
The future's a seed, and I guard that thing
I still believe in the world to come
Where the sky ain't burned and the rivers run
I don't fear what's next — I just plant and sing
The future's a seed, and I guard that thing
I saw my child smile in a rusted place
Still pure, still full of grace
So if the world don't make it, at least I tried
To leave one verse they couldn't digitize
They couldn't digitize
I won't run from tomorrow — I'll meet it barefoot
Roots deep in the promise, not the profit they took
They say the future's comin' fast
But I seen it in my dreams since I was barefoot in the yard
Mama used to whisper, "Don't trust the glowing screens
Now they follow every step — call it life by machine
I still wear my father's prayers like a coat in the cold
'Cause the fire inside me ain't never been sold.
I still believe in the world to come
Where the sky ain't burned and the rivers run
I don't fear what's next — I just plant and sing
The future's a seed, and I guard that thing
I still believe in the world to come
Where the sky ain't burned and the rivers run
I don't fear what's next — I just plant and sing
The future's a seed, and I guard that thing
I still believe in the world to come
Where the sky ain't burned and the rivers run
I don't fear what's next — I just plant and sing
The future's a seed, and I guard that thing
The future's a seed, and I guard that thing
