Verse
Downtown Memphis ain’t no place
For a young boy to find his way
But I grew up fast
Yeah I grew up fast
Stuffy teachers and talking suits
Telling me what I could and couldn’t do
They couldn’t hold me back
Chorus
My faith kept it all together
I always knew it was bound to get better
Living in the future
I’m looking past the things I feel
Everyday I’m getting closer
And I’m more than sure it’s real
It’s all that I know it’s all I see
Living in the future
Verse
Overnight stay in the Newton jail
They said I was no good
Said I was sure to fail
But I proved them wrong
Yeah I proved them wrong
Dear sweet Mama was crying out for me
Her faith kept it all together
She always knew I was bound to get better
(Repeat Chorus)
Chorus 2
I live in this world
But I’m not of this world
My feet are standing here
But my heart’s already there
Living in the future
Bridge
Our faith kept it all together
We always knew it was bound to get better
(Repeat Chorus)
Outro
Close your eyes and let your heart run free
See the future now don’t be afraid to dream
I have seen the future in my sleep I have seen how we all can be set free
Living in the future
