A possible child,
Dreamin’ through the longest night
A possible smile,
Wakin’ to a distant light
A whole world of possibilities,
Tell me what you see
Where’s that child going? Tell me,
Who’s that child gonna be?
In five thousand years…
(Whatcha wanna do, whatcha wanna see, in another)
Five thousand years…
(Where we wanna go, who we want to be, in another)
In five thousand years
If we boldly set our sight,
Journey through the coldest night
In five thousand years…
We’ll build ourselves a brand new home,
Raise the glass domes high.
And in a century or three
Our children might look at the sky
And then at last they’ll see
That distant yellow sun.
The cradle of humanity,
And all the things we might become.
In five thousand years…
(Whatcha wanna do, whatcha wanna see, in another)
Five thousand years…
(Where we wanna go, who we want to be, in another)
In five thousand years…
If we sailed across the stars,
Unimaginably far
In five thousand years...
(Instrumental break)
And maybe good folk still might die,
But maybe not, we gotta try
I don’t quite know what shape we’ll take
I don’t quite know what world we’ll make
I don’t quite know how things might change
I don’t quite know what rules we’ll break
Our present selves may think it strange
But there's so many lives at stake
Oh, entropy is bearin’ down
But we got tricks of sticking’ ‘round.
And if we live to see the day
That yellow fades to red then grey,
We’ll take a moment, one by one
Turn to face the dying sun
Bittersweetly wave good bye -
The journey’s only just begun....
In five thousand years…
(Whatcha wanna do, whatcha wanna see, in another)
Five million years…
(Where we wanna go, who we wanna be, in another)
In five billion years…
When all that we once know is gone,
We’ll find a way to carry on
In five billion years.
Five billion years…
Whatcha want to do, whatcha wanna see, in another
Five billion years…
…..
Where we wanna go...
who we wanna be...?
