Picture Of The Future

When I left your house today

Somebody approached me

Carrying something that looked like a camera

And "would I like to see

A picture of the future?"

I thought it was strange

But there was something about it

Looking back I recall

The eyes of an angel

Who wouldn't wonder

What it would look like

He said "clear your mind

And look at me

Try not to right blink

Or make sudden movements"

I said I was ready

And he pushed a button

I opened my eyes and here's what I saw was

It was a picture of the future

You're not in it

A picture of the future

You're not in it

A picture of the future

You're not in it

I can't picture me without you

I looked to the sky

With a tear in my eye

Oh I looked to the east

And I looked to the west

I looked at you

And I thought I'd stop

Because

It's a picture of the future

You're not in it

A picture of the future

You're not in it

A picture of the future

You're not in it

I left your house today

Somebody approached me

Carrying something that looked like a camera

And "would I like to see

A picture of the future?"
