Kids of the Future
Jonas Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're the kids, we're the kids, we're the kids of the future
We're the kids, we're the kids, we're the kids of the future

Standing on a dirty old rooftop
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
Come on Louis, keep moving forward
Hold your head up high there's no time for looking down
You will not believe where we're going now

Here we go let me remind you
Look ahead the past is behind you

We're the kids of the future, whoa
We're the kids of the future, whoa
Everybody live cause the future is now
(Now, now, now, now, now, now)

Bright lights, boy, look around you
Your imagination is working overtime
The world that you've dreamt of has now arrived
Hot shots, the greatest adventure
Is where the family you've searched for comes alive
So come meet the Robinson's

Looking for a place you belong to
Looking for a family that wants you

We're the kids of the future, whoa
We're the kids of the future, whoa
Everybody live cause the future is now
(Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na, sing, na-na-na-na-na)

Everyday we have fun me and Wilbur
So happy to be here with the Robinson's
I finally feel I can be someone
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside the daylight is sprawling everywhere
I know that it's right because

We'll save the future together
This family's forever

We're the kids of the future, whoa
We're the kids of the future, whoa
Everybody live cause the future is now
(Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na, sing, na-na-na-na-na)

We're the kids, we're the kids, we're the kids of the future
We're the kids, we're the kids, we're the kids of the future




We're the kids, we're the kids, we're the kids of the future
We're the kids, we're the kids, we're the kids of the future

Me pasa exactamente lo mismo. Y por la nostalgia y gusto que me da escuchar esta canción, es que siempre será de mis favoritas.
