Letter To The Future

I found me some space set apart from the madness
To write down some thoughts all about this life of mine
A few simple truths all about the joy and sadness
And the mystery of how the two can intertwine

By the time you're reading this, you'll be almost grown
And I may only be a memory
Perhaps these stains of ink will help you understand
The shape of my heart, the heart of His plan

This is my letter, my letter to the future
And when you open this you'll know what's in my heart
If I have my say, you'll find your way
This letter will open up the door

Innocent child lying soft in your cradle
You're born to a world beyond your control
I live for the chance you could lead the resistance
And signal the change by the goodness in your soul

By the time you're reading this, the world won't be the same
This day will only be a memory
You are the miracle of promises fulfilled
You could calm the angry sea by the power of your will

This is my letter, my letter to the future
And when you open this you'll know what's in my heart
If I have my say, you'll find your way
This letter will open up the door

I tremble as I'm writing this for so much is at stake
Your chance to change the course of history
I'm looking to the sky to find a star to wish upon
To dreamers like you, I pass the baton

This is my letter, letter to the future
And when you open this you'll know what's in my heart
If I have my say, you'll find your way, it's ok
This letter will open up the door
Open up the door
This is my letter
Letter to the future
