Welcome to the Future (Reprise) Lyrics
When I was ten years old
I remember thinking how cool it would be
When we were going on an eight hour drive
If I could just watch TV
And I'd have given anything
To have my own Pac-Man game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I've got it on my phone
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
Welcome to the future
My grandpa was in World War II
He fought against the Japanese
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma
Mailed them from his base in the Philippines
I wish they could see this now
The world they saved has changed you know
'Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo
Hey, everyday's a revolution
Welcome to the future
Hey, look around it's all so clear
Hey, wherever we were going, well we're here
Hey, so many things I never thought I'd see
Happening right in front of me
I had a friend in school
Running back on the football team
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the homecoming queen
I thought about him today
And everybody who's seen what he's seen
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream
Hey, wake up Martin Luther
Welcome to the future
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
Welcome to the future
I remember thinking how cool it would be
When we were going on an eight hour drive
If I could just watch TV
And I'd have given anything
To have my own Pac-Man game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I've got it on my phone
Welcome to the future
He fought against the Japanese
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma
Mailed them from his base in the Philippines
I wish they could see this now
The world they saved has changed you know
'Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo
Welcome to the future
Hey, wherever we were going, well we're here
Hey, so many things I never thought I'd see
Happening right in front of me
Running back on the football team
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the homecoming queen
I thought about him today
And everybody who's seen what he's seen
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream
Welcome to the future
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
Welcome to the future

"I went to see father of the bride, With a girl back home, We broke up before the sequal, So I went to that one all alone.
I wondered who I'd wind up with, And what would our kids look like? Well I guess I got my answer, As I tuck them in at night.
Heeeeey, I don't think dreams come any truer, Boys, welcome to the future."
