The Future Belongs to Those Who Think About it ft. Nenye Lyrics

The future belongs to those who think about it

Before our fathers fought for change

They had envisioned a world where melodies and hearts tune to create beautiful harmonies

They had envisioned something greater!

A future where freedom meets creativity, art with science,

voice meeting expression

and thoughts birthing innovation

We are today because they dared - dared to think

Strange, they say

You can touch the future but not reshape its clay

Yet Gandhi's spirit breathes today

For he dared to dream of India's sway

Mandela's fight against the chains brought hope to South Africa's plains

They and even more owning the future with hearts

Their thoughts as inks that script their destiny,

not the wealth that lines their pockets.

You see,

Today is the future of yesterday

Tomorrow, the future of today

Everyday, an anticipation of what will be

Tomorrow get belle, nobody know wetin e go born

And so we sit and pray,

"Echi ga bú echi ọma" - tomorrow will be good

They tell us not to dream,

dreams are images, fantasies, and fairytales created

when heart's obsession mixed with the activity of the tiny muscles at the back of our heads

Obsession kills and muscles relapse

But aren't hopes, dreams and aspirations the future?

If we want to fly, we can either make airplanes or turn butterflies

If you want to soar, you'd either become an eagle or chicken out

Only dreamers hold the key to the gate of tomorrow

And only those with thoughts becomes nurturers in the garden of the unknown
