    When I look into the future
    There are robots all round me
    There are aliens landing on Earth
    There are saucers in the sky
    But there aren't any birds.

    When I look into the future
    There's a memory stick in my head
    There's a tracking device under my feet
    There's a monitor behind my eyes
    But there isn't a single photograph.

    When I look into the future
    There are ________________________
    There are ________________________
    There are ________________________
    But there aren't any ________________

    When I look into the future
    There's a ________________________
    There's a ________________________
    There's a ________________________
    But there isn't ____________________

    In 2030
    I'd like to be part of a new generation
    I'd like to live in a world at peace
    Then shake hands with people I don't know
    I'd like to say hello
    And greet strangers like brothers
    I'd like to be able to hug a foreigner
    And invite him to dinner
    I'd like to be happy
    Then share my bliss
    I'd like to take action
    And make this possible

     

    In 2030
    I'd like to ____________________

    I'd like to ____________________
    Then ____________________
    I'd like to ____________________
    And ____________________
    I'd like to ____________________
    And ____________________
    I'd like to ____________________
    Then ____________________
    I'd like to ____________________
    And ____________________
