Lyrics
My message for the future
Is a message from your past
What you'll make of this message
It's one I wrote to last
It may be hard to figure out
But could be you're on your own
But life is never easy son
Chasing thunder down the road
I used to think I knew it all
But you'll know more than me
Don't be afraid of failure
Fight hard to keep your dreams
It's better to have tried and fail
Than to never have tried at all
My message for the future
Is just to get up every time you fall
My message for the future
There's no turning back
A kind word and a helping hand
Will put you back on track
My message for the future
The main thing I would say
Don't worry about what could have been
Stay true to yourself each day
I used to think I knew it all
But you'll know more than me
Don't be afraid of failure
Fight hard to keep your dreams
It's better to have tried and fail
Than to never have tried at all
My message for the future
Is just to get up every time you fall
I used to think I knew it all
But you'll know more than me
Don't be afraid of failure
Fight hard to keep your dreams
It's better to have tried and fail
Than to never have tried at all
My message for the future
Is just to get up every time you fall
Don't worry about what could have been
Stay true to yourself each day
