On & On

I like the way it feels in your arms

I like the way you understand

If you were here you'd make me feel

The way I want to feel

When I feel apart from friends I love

And everyone's asleep except for me

The clock, its tick takes hold of me

And who I want to be

and it goes on & on & on...

If I could be as tall as I can be

And could reach as far as I can reach

Tell me would it be a different me

To meet a different you

and it goes on & on & on...

21st century you, me, boys and girls

Is it me? or is it a little bit hard to breathe?

If you could reach as far as you can

How far would you reach?

I don't know if I want to be

A different me, a different you

I try to be the least prejudice as I can

I try to be as brave and kind as I can

In hopes someone will need me

Just as much as I need them

and it goes on & on & on...

I don't feel that our strength is strong enough

To take us all to paradise, peace or to LaLaLand

Heaven's there, it always has been and always will

I'll be here If you'll be there

I wanna see what's left to see

i can't imagine myself living long enough

to see the 22nd century, all I know is that

what isn't fair, that we care, or in the air we breathe

is all going to stop, we hope something will not

one day our future kids will talk about

the way we were or went or coulda been and then turned out

we'll be a simple name like"back then"be an age or just a page

but I don't want to be envied and I don't want to be shamed

21st century you, me boys and girls

I wanna dream and scream and breathe as loud as I can

I am watching you be I will watch dream

cuz I'm not sure if I will be

forever me, with forever you
