I was moving around like a modern day rocket When this old man he comes up to me He looked tired and worn Had dark rings around his sockets And he spoke very gracefully
He said there was a time I was just like you You might say I’m a hero There was a time I could touch the new Now I’m back to zero
Please sing for me Once I belonged to the future Please sing for me I have to bring this world along I was once so strong
Now I faced that old man and said You must be crazy What’s become of your hopes for mankind There are things in my life That I’ll never realize ‘Cause your fears Have all become mine
This is my time I won’t be like you Don’t pretend I’m your savior This is my time I must start a new Do me one last favor
Please sing for me ‘Cause I belong to the future Please sing for me I’ve got to bring this world along I must be strong, yeah
Please sing for me ‘Cause I belong to the future Please sing for me I’ve got to bring this world along I must be strong, yeah
Please sing for me ‘Cause I belong to the future Please sing for me I’ve got to bring this world along
Please sing for me Sing for me Sing for me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Please sing for me Sing for me ‘Cause I belong to the future Please sing for me Please sing for me
