Future Days
Embracing Tomorrow: Thompson Twins' Anthem for Unity and Change
Lyrics
Here's to future days (Oh future days)
Celebrating and toasting to the days ahead.
Here's to future days (Oh oh)
Reiteration of a positive outlook for the future.
I'm sick and tired of repeating history
Expressing frustration with the repetition of historical mistakes.
Of waving flags that don't mean much to me
Disillusionment with symbolic gestures, like waving flags, that lack personal significance.
Black versus white, women versus men
Highlighting societal conflicts such as racial and gender divisions.
The power of the dollar and the price of yen
Criticizing the influence of money and economic disparity.
I'm sick and tired of payaing for the sins
Frustration with bearing the consequences of others' mistakes.
Of fathers and the mothers and the pushers and the shovers
Blaming various groups, including parents and those who exert force, for societal problems.
But most of all the Lord about us
Pointing out a broader frustration with the state of the world and questioning a higher power.
Who made this stupid mess we're in
Questioning the origin of the current challenging situation.
Here's to future days (Oh future days)
Repeating the positive sentiment and hope for better days ahead.
Here's to future days (Oh oh)
Reiteration of the positive outlook for the future.
We have a vision of a better time
Describing a collective vision for a more positive and harmonious time.
Where we all live in grace and pride
Imagining a future where everyone lives with dignity and pride.
And everyone will have their say
Envisioning a society where everyone has a voice and feels part of a positive future.
And know they're part of the future way
Emphasizing inclusivity and participation in shaping the future.
We have a dream of heaven on earth
Describing an idealistic vision of a utopian existence.
Where we all work together and know our worth
Imagining a cooperative society where individuals recognize their own value.
Where joy and laughter and love and affection
Highlighting positive elements like joy, laughter, love, and affection as guiding forces.
Will keep us movin' in the right direction
Stressing the importance of these positive elements in steering society in the right direction.
Here's to future days (Oh future days)
Reiterating the hopeful toast for better days to come.
Here's to future days (Oh oh)
Final reiteration of the positive outlook for the future.
