Next Generation
Raul Midón Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About this feeling that is growing
Me and all my friends and they are telling their friends too
About these changes that they are knowing
Infinity takes no time at all these days
So much more than just a passing phase
You've got all the information so there's nothing in your way
Have you heard about the next generation?
You are the leaders of tomorrow and tomorrow's here today
See the world by touch and what you see can mean so much
That all your words still hold a meaning
It's better day by day, life can give and take away
As long as love is where you're leaning
Infinity takes no time at all these days
So much more than just a passing phase
And have you heard about the next generation?
You've got all the information so there's nothing in your way
Have you heard about the next generation?
You are the leaders of tomorrow and tomorrow's here today
Oh, tomorrow's here today
Maybe it's all the same
Just a different phase with a different name
Kids play like they really know the game
Worthless money, everyone's your friend
And to morality that you can't bend
It's true though, friends 'cause everything's for sale
But have you heard about the next generation?
You've got all the information so there's nothing in your way
Have you heard about the next generation?
You are the leaders of tomorrow and tomorrow's here today
Have you heard about the next generation?
You've got all the information so there's nothing more
Nothing to get in your way
Have you heard about the next generation?
You are the leaders of tomorrow and tomorrow's here today
Have you heard about the next generation?
You've got all the information so there's nothing more
To get in our way, yeah
Have you heard about the next generation?
You are the leaders of tomorrow and tomorrow's here today
Have you heard about the next generation?
You've got all the information so there's nothing more
Nothing to get in our way
Have you heard about the next generation?
