The Future Passes Earth

This song was written by the members of the YOUTH GROUP at Centre 404 on 4th February 2021.

We used the technique perfected by David Bowie: we cut up words at random from current magazines and newspapers to create sheets of lyrics, which were then pieced together to form a song that reflects the MOOD of TODAY.

It feels like our FUTURE is on hold.

Our future is passing us by. It is hard for individuals to feel responsible for a future that we have little control over, but we know that there will be a change and – just as snowdrops flower as a sign of Spring – we will experience a new beginning.

 

The Future Passes Earth

 

Four stars in the sky

Heaven’s light is burning!

Ghosts are fighting

The future passes earth

 

We knew we were under the great shadow

 

The future passes earth

 

RESPONSIBILITY

 

People cry late at night

 

Star in the sky

It’s lost its shine

 

The future passes earth

 

Unless you call

Look him in the eyes

 

The summer will be a call to arms

 

Unless you call

Look him in the eyes

 

It’s time for faith

To claim your halo

 

And for those who have everything

Speak to somebody

Speak, speak, speak

 

The FUTURE

 

This word is not our responsibility

 

This word is not forever

 

How hard is it?

How hard is it?

How hard is it?

The future is not our responsibility.

 

And finally, things will turn around?

 

There WILL be a

Good walk

 

There WILL be

The future

 

There WILL be

A Halo

 

And snowdrops
