You Mean The Future To Me

You are the future, you are right now
You are a dream, a memory and a melody
You're the wings that hold our hearts and hopes
Forever awaiting your greatest achievements
We are the patience, the understanding
We hope to ourselves never to be demanding

To my own, true that I have yet to know you
Perhaps never to be
As yet for a while I shall be unable to show you
How you mean everything to me

For your brothers, your sisters and all of your friends
I will hope there is more than this fear
That the world is changing so much toward an end
It can only be lost, not held dear

When we think forever, I see you
And the always of life will be you
For the future is yours, today we give tours
Because in many ways, our endings will free you

You are the ones who I wish to be there for each other
You are the children of man, hold the hands of your brothers
You're always a gift to be seen with a smile
Hoping you'll reach your dreams all the while
I will hide away, leave you be, the dramatics of my life unseen
For you deserve more than where I have been
