(intro) (verso 1) When I was 10 years old I remember thinking how cool it would be We were going on an 8 hour drive If I could just watch TV And I’d have given anything To have my own PacMan game at home I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade Now I got it on my phone (refrão) Hey............. Glory Glory Hallelujah Welcome to the future ( ) (verso 2) My grandpa was in WW2 He fought against the Japanese He wrote 100 letters to my Grandma Mailed em from his base in the Phillipines I wish they could see this now They world they say has changed you know Cause I was on a video chat this morning With a company in Tokyo (refrão) Hey.................. Everyday’s a revolution Welcome to the future (        ) (ponte) Hey.................. Look around it’s all so clear Hey.............. Wherever we were going well we’re here Hey................ So many things I never thought I’d see     Happening right in front of me        (verso 3) I had a friend in school Running back on the football team They burned a cross in his front yard For asking out the home coming queen I thought about him today And everybody who’s seen what he’s seen From a woman on a bus To a man with a dream (refrão) Hey..................... Wake up Martin Luther       Welcome to the future   Hey................. Glory Glory Hallelujah Welcom the future

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un voyage à travers le temps, où l'auteur compare son enfance avec le monde d'aujourd'hui, mettant en avant les avancées technologiques comme les jeux vidéo disponibles sur téléphone, alors qu'il devait se rendre en salle d'arcade. Il fait aussi référence à son grand-père, un vétéran de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et aux changements sociétaux qu'il aurait aimés voir, illustrant le contraste entre les époques. À travers des anecdotes personnelles et des références à des luttes pour les droits civiques, la chanson souligne combien le monde a évolué et l'espoir d'un avenir meilleur.
