I Asked the Future a Question

I ASKED THE FUTURE A QUESTION

[Verse 1]
I asked the future a question
It answered before I was done
Gave me twelve possibilities
Then generated another one

I laughed like a child
At the impossible speed
Then stared at the ceiling
Wondering what it would need me to be

[Chorus]
I asked the future a question
It gave me everything but peace
Every answer opened doors
Every doorway multiplied the streets

I wanted possibility
Now possibility won’t sleep
I’m standing at the edge of everything
Trying to decide what I should keep

[Verse 2]
It helps me understand things
I couldn’t touch before
Turns curiosity into
A key for every door

But knowledge used to feel like mountains
Now the mountains disappear
And I can’t tell if that’s liberation
Or another reason for fear

[Bridge]
If there are no distant horizons
Where does adventure begin?
If every answer waits beside me
What do I hunger to discover within?

Maybe wonder isn’t ignorance
Maybe wonder survives the known
Maybe infinite information
Still can’t tell me where is home

[Final Chorus]
I asked the future a question
It said, “What future do you want?”
And suddenly all that power
Felt impossibly immense

I wanted possibility
Now responsibility runs deep
The future keeps answering questions
We still have promises to keep
