Welcome To Tomorrow

Romeo waiting in courtyards
waiting for painted dolls
music flowing like perfume
Aladdin's carpet has stalled

life is a spiraling compass
never know where to go
soft is a budding flower
just waiting to unfold

(chorus) welcome
                  welcome to tomorrow
                  welcome to today

                  in this world spinning 'round
                 different face
                 same old clown
                 in this world spinning 'round
                 different state
                 same old town

                welcome to tomorrow
                welcome to today

summers can feel like winter
without love it's so cold
life can be so demanding
making a young girl look old

talking in plastic phrases
where is the world I had known
people acting like children
our world is just bought and sold

(chorus)
(instrumental)

the future lies in our children
in the hope in their eyes
is it truth that we tell them
or sugar-coat them with lies

(chorus)
