I dreamed about the future
and you know it wasn't great
Unless, I may have missed it
And I kind of showed up late
Time controls the future
turns tomorrow to today
just when you think you've made it
the future's yesterday
You can have a bucket full of wishes
You can have a bucket full of dreams
But, don't wait until the future
For it's not quite what it seems
Other peoples futures
Overlap with what you do
Everything keeps changing
So the future is not new
What goes around will come again
At least that's what they say
So if you want to have a future
Why not start out with today?
Tomorrow is a zephyr
It moves fast and it's gone
For the future is the present
by the time you count to one
So, take your bucket full of wishes
And your bucket full of dreams
Don't wait until the future
It isn't what it seems
My future's now my present
And my present will soon go
I don't dream about the future
When I get there...I won't know

My future's now my present
And my present will soon go
I don't dream about the future
